Well on the way home from work my truck was driving well as normall and then it studdered spittered and spattered so I pulled over and turned it off after getting towed home i checked the #4 plug and the porcelan on the outside of the plug was cracked (still ran but like SH*t ) changed plug didn't run put old one back in runs but horribly barely runs and when revved up sounds like when a lawnmower is first started

WHAT COULD IT BE??????

Pull a compression check. If that particular cylinder reads drasticly lower, you'll need to take it apart and find out what went wrong.
If the compression check is even on all cyl's, get fresh spark plugs and go thru the ignition system.
Also look down the throat of the carb and see if there's too much fuel feeding into the motor.

Hopefully you didn't have a valve go bad.

Been there...done that.

Good luck!
