ok, so everything seems good timing chain wise, it does not look like it jumped a tooth, the guides are a lil worn but not too bad. this is not good news as far as im concerned because i dont know why my engine is running as gutless as it is. this is my situation-
truck wont start right away when its cold

as soon as you hit any sort of incline it bogs down, no power.

other than that it seems to run fairly smooth, but when revs down to low idle it wants to die

all this screams timing, but am i wrong? is it possible that the chain tensioner is worn out and that would effect my timing? what other things would cause this? i have decent compression, so i should be able to go up a hill in at least third. seriously, like 10 degree hill and i have to put it in second. i just want some ideas while i have this thing all torn apart.
thanks in advance
