yeah it sorta leaps when taking off also. I got under the truck and the cat is like a bluesish color it wasnt that color when i bought it. Im just hoping the catalytic convertor is clogged.

No cause I put the new cat on and then the tranny maybe 2 or 3 months later. I think its the cat cause its doing the bucking and it hesitates real bad and wont go past a certain rpm. And the cat is that blue color like metal get when it gets real hot. I removed the 02 sensor and it did run a little bit better. Im almost 90 % sure its the cat. What do you think man ?

Ok removed the cat and its loud but when i floor it it still pops and like shuts off for like 2 or 3 seconds then pops again and wont go. I did notice I put the fuel pressure tester on it its 49 psi at idle when i rev it it stays at 49 even when i put it in drive and the emergency break on and rev it a lil it still stays at 49 psi. Im now leaning towards the fuel pump or the engine not getting enough fuel !!

Pressure is good, so, i don't think its a fuel problem.....

Does the engine run smooth?
