When i run my truck and it gets up to operating range, and i run it that way for a while and i know its definately hot, it cranks awhile before it wants to start. It acts like an old gasser at times. Was wondering what it may be? Too much fuel, compression leaking, timing issue?

Next question is, how can you tell if your torque converter is goin bad? When im pulling my trailer the rpms get to a certain point and seems to stop, my road speed tends to stop for a bit also. The engine has a different sound pitch to it as well during this. Just kinda feels like the converter is acting goofy. Then once it picks up enough speed, then all goes to normal, and all sounds normal. Any help for both questions? Thanks!!

I think hard restarts when hot is usually a indication of bad injectors. not 100% sure though lol
