The truck was jerking & when you step on the gas it would only move slowly,in jerking motions like it wasn't getting its gas. Also it stalled on me a couple of times but started up no problem & the battery light was flashing. It seem to come out of it & now runs fine but do I need to replace battery or change fuel filter? Fuel pump was replaced 4 mths ago.
