bad news
i just recently got my truck home from the tranny shop, and its a peach.
but, the past few days of drivin it around (after gettin the truck back weeks ago) its being kinda a turd. you can mat it and it seems like it goes into limp mode or whatever its called. it smokes more (not the pretty black kind) a nasty like white or grey color, and the engine seems to die down, like its losing rpms or somethin. but if i slowly and steadily get on it it'll get to speed, eventually. lol
what do you guys think that is? simple tweak of a screw? or did i get screwed myself? or maybe someplace in between?

White smoke means vapor, so you may not be combusting all the fuel. Water in fuel? I hope not 'cause you may have blown an injector. Like Ritchie-O and Parker said, filter first then go from there.

Just replace it. It looks like an oil filter with a drain and sensor screwed into the bottom. It's on the driver's side of the engine block.
