Question type: Maintenance & Repair

...i go to start the truck, sounds like it's ready to start, it gives the starting
sound, but won't turn all the way over. Was working fine, for a couple of
miles, started to spudder, even stalled, i waited about 5mins, fire it back up,
came on, and i drove home which is a distance of 5-6 miles, it acted like it
was trying to cough about every 6-7 seconds maybe...NO ENGINE LIGHT
ON...I was advised by a mechanic that it seems like there's water in the
fuel...i put gas treatment soluntion in with $20 more of fuel...plzz...any
suggestions would be helpful...tyvm

Yes, moisture in the fuel, Isopropyl base additive is what you need for the moister. But you may want to check the fuel pressure. If the fuel filter has not ben changed in awhile replace that first. Fuel pump or fuel regulator can be a cause also.
