My truck runs fine for about 10 minutes when its cold as it gets warm the engine starts missing and losses power, You can let it cool down and it runs fine again, all gauges are normal including coolent heat and oil pressure. When it cools down it runs normal again. The longer it runs the more it losses power to the point it will just stall. Is there some type of sensor for this. Its not a plugged exhaust it has straight pipes with two mufflers on it. Has had for two yrs.

I would start by changing the plugs and wires first of all. If that doesnt solve it may be time to check out the ignition coil. When its warm the resistance will go up if its bad and thus preducing poor spark or none at all. When it stalls out and wont start check for fuel and spark.
