Hello I have spent thousands of dollars trying to get my truck running right.  I ended up parking it last winter after being ripped off by many mechanics that were supposed to fix it and never did.  I lost my job and now need to get it running again.  I bought a new battery and it started right up but I still had to drive with both feet in order to keep it running.  I ended up buying all new coil packs and plugs and me and my friend put them on ourselves learning from you tube videos.  It runs much better now except when accelerating and climbing hills.  I took it to OReillys but the only code that showed up was the 5 coil.  But I really think it is the cats on the beast.  I am looking for help with step by step instructions on how to remove the cats and clean them.  I want to make sure I have the correct tools before I start that way I can hammer down and get it done that way I can go find a job.  Can you please give me some pointers?

It's 2001. 23 years old.  Do the basics. Do a compression test to start with.

If it's good start looking at live data.

You didn't say the mileage. That figures into it too.

Problems climbing hills. Maybe a sticky valve.

Pull off the valve cover, run it, look to see if there's an issue
