Based upon that excellent and detailed description, I'd have to say that it appears something is wrong with your truck.

Unless I'm missing something, I can't see how your battery could possibly cause the symptoms you're describing. As long as your alternator is working, once the vehicle is running you can disconnect the battery and the truck will run fine. You may not have much for accessories, though...

But as for the backfire, maybe your timing is off. But that would likely show up all the time. Sometimes a vacuum or intake air leak will cause the problems you describe. Check that everything is tight on the intake. Good luck.
