problem with a truck

[jbiermann]

Generally if the converter is going out you will get a smell of sulfur, kind of like rotten eggs. And most of the time they will glow bright red hot if they are really plugged up. I would lean more towards the trans, definitely check the fluid

well checked the fluid. it was a quart low. topped it off try again and same thing truck works fine till it warmed up.

I just thought of something. You could have crap in the tank and lines, and when the fuel pump sucks fuel after awhile, the pickup sock gets clogged, and causes a severe fuel starvation problem. So maybe it would run fine and then after the time taken to get it warmed up, all that sh*t collects at the pump pickup and drastically slows fuel flow. To check this you'd have to drop the tank, but I just thought I'd throw that idea out there. If you find out this is the problem, I'd definitely change the filter out too, as it may be clogged as well...


Heres where I got the idea from:

Plugged Catalytic Converter...Try unbolting it and see if the truck will run. All of your symptoms seem to point to that.
