Take it into your mechanic ASAP before you throw a rod and destroy your engine, check oil level also...DO NOT DRIVE IT ANYMORE or you may be looking for another car soon.

98 k1500 misfires on hills

A couple of things can cause this. First, make sure that your fuel filter is clean. next make sure that the fuel pump is putting out adequate pressure. I'd also check timing to make sure it has not been set too far retarded. A bad ignition wire or spark plug can also give you similar symptoms but generally you would feel a slight miss at all times but sometimes unless "loaded" it's not as obvious as you would think it should be.
Obviously I'm not there to drive it but the items I've listed are where and in what order I'd begin to check.good luck!!
