hey guys, i just got back from overseas to find out my truck isnt running good. my wife has been driving it since i've been gone. when the weather is cool or cold outside, the engine starts up just fine. but when the motor has warmed up or its hot outside, the engine has a hard time starting and shuts off often once its started. can anybody give me an idea of what it is? thanks, trey

Does it throw any codes?
Sounds like a fuel problem, rent a tester from autozone and check the pressure using procedure in your haynes or chiltons manual. Since you just got home you should give it a tune up or atleast check the plugs, ohm test the wires, pull the dist cap and clean out corrosion, and throw a new fuel filter on. The hard starting is usual a fuel pressure regulator but it could be ignition system related. When your at autozone have them check your battery and alt on the truck too.
