had a fire call last night(im a volunteer firefighter), went running out to my truck jumped in, it started hard(cranked for longer than normal) fired up ran fine, went on my way to the fire station, hit full throttle several times ran good all the way there, get there shut it off and jump in rescue, headed off. ok-- back from the call we had a meeting at the station, after the meeting i went out to start my truck, and it cranked but no start (after several tries) finally started ran really rough 500-2000rpm then i shut it down, and it wouldnt restart... fuel gauge said 1/4 tank left, went and got 5 gal of gas, filled it and turned the key on and off several times, cranked on it for maybe 5 sec maybe a bit longer, it fired up ran really rough again then smoothed out and has run fine since then... even at 7 degrees this morning.. any ideas? is my fuel gauge bad and i just ran outta fuel? or is this possibly something else??
