Don't know what happened, but I fixed it

We are in the process of moving from an apt to a new house, but for now are storing everything in a storage unit until we can close on the house. Last night, I made several short trips back and forth to the storage unit, several starts and stops with the truck. On the last trip, when I went to start the truck, it took 2-3 times until it finally fired up.

Got in it this morning and fired it up and it was running rough and just did not sound right. I drove it around town awhile and it never got to running any better. Finally I got PO'd and just started driving it like a 16 year old kid that had just stolen it.

By the way, these things will SCOOT too !!!!!!! I've never driven it like this in the 5k miles that I have on it and was very impressed. Anyway, back to the point. I blew jet black smoke on several takeoffs and after about 5 minutes of crazy driving, it runs like it always has.

So what was up with this? It just wanted to play or what?

She was carboned up.........and you blew her out. Pull something really heavy in the hills and get her hot, then see how she'll run even better.
