My truck ran just fine earlier today and when I was

barley touch the gas without killing it. Couldn't even
do the speed limit.   Stopped at    O'Reillys on the
way home thinking it was the cap but I tried it in the
parking lot and it wasn't.  Not sure what it is and I
need help bad!  Any help is good. Not looking to
blow a lot of money on it either

Hey there! If you haven't already, check the fuel pressure to the engine - it could be a clogged fuel filter that starving the engine for gas. I was traveling in July when my truck started bogging down going up the Ozark Mountains - I thought it was bc I was hauling a fully loaded truck and pickup camper. Ended up throwing 3 rods thru the oil pan, and had to spend over a week in a motel getting my engine and fuel filter/lines replaced. If your lines are all rusted out like mine were, you may have to find replacement ones online ( check out LinesToGo.com, they were a little over $300 shipped overnight). Good luck with your truck!
