Thanks everyone for your responses,Turns out everyone somewhat hit it on the head, because we had good compression it was a hard problem to diagnose,Actually it was a cascading # of issues that led to the severe skip, once we pulled the head off, we found a cracked valve on #2 cylinder, also the cam shaft had excessive wear, all replaced and assembled, once running we had a slight skip and ignition in exhaust,turned out to be fuel injectors, than we had a RPM surge at idle, which was worn gears in throttle body, Then hard starting and excessive lp fumes, Yep fuel regulator, I thank its save to save it was a expensive project close to $4000, list price, would have been cheaper to throw the truck away, and replace it. worst part is the fuel components were replaced in the past.
