With an 01 truck there shouldn't be a distributor... it should have a camshaft syncronizer that has to go in just right. perhaps you got a wire crossed or something? It happened on my buddies chevy and we could not figure out what was wrong.

Codes? Check Engine Light? Sure you have all the sensors connected?
