Well I'll tell you what happened. My friend ended up buying another motor from a totaled truck with low miles and it now runs great!!
When they were taking out the old motor he found the problem..
The truck had a one piece dual exhaust system.. The catalytic had a very bad rattle in it.. He cut the pipe and hollowed out the cat. When he clamped it back together, he thought it would be a good idea to use two pieces of cardboard with holes gut cut out as gaskets.
He forgot to cut a hole in on of the two pieces therefore blocking the exhaust flow..
