There is no cat converter currently on there. But there is some exhaust leaks. I will replace the Pcv valve as soon as I get some money (end of month.)

take the pcv valve off and shake it, if it rattles it is still good

just replace the valve, it's only about 3 bucks, and then fix your exhaust leaks, that will make a huge difference. Besides doin that and all the other stuff mentioned, (tune up etc.) the only other thing you can do is sell the truck and buy one with a V8!
