 Subject: rough running and towing

Message:
Well my '92 dak ran good the first 150 miles of the trip back to school a couple of weeks ago, but when I stopped for a bathroom break she started crapping out on me. Well, I get in started it up and she was running rough. I didn't think too much of it since it does it every once in a while sile I did the IAT relocation mod. I put in gear and when I gave it gas it like it was loading up and was backfiring on the driver's side exhaust manifold. I managed to make it back to school (another 35 miles away) by keeping the rpms above 2500 where it was running normal. Got to school and decided to wait until the next day to check it out. Well I started it up, still running rough, and I noticed that the passenger side was running really lean. That manifold was so hot after 30 seconds at idle I couldn't even touch it while the other side was only slightly warm. Well I proceeded to take the injectors off, clean them, and reinstalled them on the opposite side thinking that if one was responsible, it would cause the same problem but on opposite sides. Well, it didn't change anything. I checked for vaccuum leaks and couldn't find any, the egr cant be causing it because it isn't supposed to open uless its not idling and i beat to hell out of it so it surely would have closed if it was stuck open. I'm outta ideas and decided to let my dad just tow it home so I can have access to more tools. Any ideas on what's wrong? When I'm towing my truck should I put the front or rear wheels on the dolly? I know that some vehicles can be damaged if the drive wheels are turning over a certain speed in neutral when the engine isn't running. Any help will be appreciated.

Sorry about your issues.
When towing an automatic w/ a two wheel dolly, put the truck on backwards (rear wheels up) and lock the steering wheel.
