the truck was not driven for a while and know that i started to put money into fixing it up, the engine performance is not the same. When i start at 1st gear the rpm goes up but the engine does not respond the same anymore, it has a delay to perform right. Any suggestions on the things that might be holding it back?

Eric has a video on solving engine performance issues, but I will echo what he said… before you do anything else, check the basics. Check, and I would even change, your fuel filter (my 88 chevy truck has a serviceable filter… they are dirt cheap), air filter, oil, transmission fluid (at least check to make sure it’s got some and that it’s pinkish-red in color), and may not be a bad idea to change your plugs and wires. Also, check to see if your cooling system is topped off and free of air. If your truck has sat a while, it’s almost a given these things are going to need to be done, so might as well do it.
If it still has a problem, then go from there, but this should clean up a lot of your issues.
