what do those codes mean? If its bank 1, catalyst inefficiency, and misfire in a cylinder then its probably a bent valve or cracked head.

Yeah I already thought about a burnt or bent valve but if that is the case wouldn't the problem be more consistent rather than here today gone tommorow it seems to do it when I don't let the truck warm up enough to its standard and not mine and the weather has changed considerably.

yeah it would be there all the time. but it could be a head gasket going bad that leaks when it's cold and then seals up as it expends.

Maybe a compression test would give you some better answers I really have no clue how to test it other than that though.
