Sorry to leave you all in suspense with what the problem is - I dunno either. Just glad the truck is running good again!

The white stuff is normal build up.
No problem there..

If cap does go bad always replace with a AC-delco.
They are numbered for plug wires to.

If RUNNING GOOD WITH OLD CAP LEAVE IT ON THERE.
