Whats Wrong?

[roadrageror]

i noticed something with my KON the other week and well..i dont really like it. so after my KON is parked for an hour or so like if go eat somewhere and i hop in it and go to take off it has no power for the first km of driving.. like when i push the gas the RPM doesnt increace over 2200 and the whole truck just boggs down. after about 2-3 mins of driving it is all normal for the rest of the ride til i turn it off and let it sit.
i got a re-manufactured tranny last year could this be the problem? i checked all my fluids and all are full and clean. i probally have no more than 5-6000 km on my tranny..
now i know nothing about transmissions but could the torque converter be draining of ATF some how when it sits?
totally need some help cause me and the little women decided we were going on a holiday to South Dakota in about 5 weeks(2200km one way) dont want any problems that far from home..
thanks RORy.

well i just got in contact with the shop owner(transmission shop) and he told me it sounds like the fuel filter that is located on the frame rail that is probally plugged and to check that first. the tranny shop is 250 km away..so i guess thats what i will do.does this sound like the problem?

That could be it until it can get the pressure up. Its a cheap try anyway. Let us know how it works out.

Is there anyway you could have a plugged up exhaust? Like an old cat coverter or bad front O2 sensors? I'm pretty sure clogged cats can bog your engine down untill it gets warm.

Holiday in South Dakota, huh? Right on.....

oh i didnt think of that. I had that happen with my astro van. big difference when i got it changed

well i got a new fuel filter...still does it! although it might be less..the filter was plugged pretty good tho..so im also told it could be the fuel pump but i had it replaced 4 yrs ago..
yeah SD! then Yellowestone! and back into Canada through Montana..gotta hit up the Stated while our dollar is at par..might not last too long.lol. any other ideas..my tranny is on warrenty til may 6...

Seafoam it. could be dirty/clogged injectors

Inspect the color of your catalytic converters. Are they toasty looking? Do they glow once the truck is warmed up? Do they rattle if you smack them?

if you had a clogged cat you would get a code. check and see if maybe if some of your intake tubing has come off/loose or maybe see if the TB bolts are loose.

Mine was doing something smilar to that and it was the fuel pump. Even if you replaced it 4yrs ago still could go out again. Start at the cheapest thing and work your way up.

ok so i just took it around the block again..it does seem to be aa bit better with the new FF but still not right. i am almost out of fuel also so im going to go to another gas station and fill her up with the good stuff and see if i feel a difference after work.
it only bogged for the first 15-20 seconds now with the new FF. better than 30-45 sec before..but like i said after its good, it doesnt do it again until its been parked for a bit..
