Some may have read my post about my 2001 Rodeo having tranny issues, well the tranny needs to be replaced. Now we are relying on one truck and it is acting up.

The truck has some bad hesitation when it warms up. It happens in all gears, speeds and forms of acceleration. It puffs some black smoke during the hesitation and will clear up afterwards. Its intermitent and only seems to happen when the truck gets up to operating temp.

Plugs, PCV valve and wires (new style) are only 10k miles old. Can't find any vaccum leaks. Ran some Sea Foam through it and it cleaned out some stuff but didn't help my problem.

Any help is appreciated
