When driving down the road the Truck will backfire thrru the Carb. Start skipping or losing power. This does not happen all the time.

Do you think that the injectors need to br replaced?

Look down into the throttle body and observe the injector spray-it should be a cone shape and no breaks when you pull the throttle back-could be dirty or you're losing fuel pressure-
