Partial plugged cat or something else
The trucks been parked for the past eight months waitin on a tranny and what not. Got'er going and now it sorta sounds like a flat head or something's muffled a bit. Dunno just don't sound right. Almost like a misfire when driving but looks and sounds fine at idle. I checked the temps on both cats this afternoon and one is at 260ish and the others barely at 200 degrees Celsius.

Is the fuel 8 months old and without a stabilizer?
I don't know how the states is but around here after about 3-4 months of fuel being stored its garbage and the engine runs terrible. Misses. Stumbles. Hesitated.
When heat testing your called its not just the cat temp to check. What you should do is a delta test. Meaning when the cat is working properly its actually hotter on the way out. Usually like 50 celsius hotter out the exit due to the oxidizing in the cat

I have it hooked up to hptuners and did a scan with my misfire cfg and it showes multiple misfires in cylinders 4,5,6. I just replaced the fuel filter and checked the plugs. So one by one to disconnected each coil pack at the harness.
1 missfired 8
2 missfired 6
3 missfired 3 and sometimes 1
4 missfired 4+3
5 missfired 4+5 and sometimes 6
6 missfired 6 and sometimes 5
7 missfired 2+7
8 missfired sometimes 7+6
Any idears? I had a p0300 code but once cleared it hasn't come back but stumbles so bad to the point its not driveable. Also for the current cylinder firing its random and I don't recall seeing cylinder 8. That was the same as last year when I had a bad coil.

I'm on mobile so I can't see a sig.
What year is the truck?
Those misfires are looking like the spider injectors failing. Unless its not that style
Have you pulled any plugs? They could be fouled from the bad fuel

I have the marine injectors if that helps. How can I test the injector? Later today I'm going to fire it up and bull the power to each injector and listen for a change. I looked at the plugs yesterday and they're a tan color.
