Engine is running like CRAP - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, I just put my wheels back on and pulled the truck out, first off, I pretty much have to floor it just to get the truck moving, and even then it is barely running, it feels like only maybe four cylinders out of eight are running. Now, this is a very recent development, I have run the engine serveral times while it was in the shop (you know, you just get the craving to hear the roar of the V8

) and it ran very well, but yeah, now it is running like crap. Any suggestions as to what I should be looking at to see what the problem may be? Oh yeah, when I run the engine right now, thick bluish black smoke comes out.

Maybe the distributer?
