When I was driving it for the first time, flames began to shoot out the tail pipe, and the brand new catalytic converter got cherry red. As soon as it was noticed the truck was turned off. The upstream 02 sensor was shot. And maybe the cat? No check engine codes at all.

What year truck? The earlier years had two temp sensors. When the one for the PCM fails it might read really cold and then dump more fuel.
