My 99 suburban is puting real bad and I smell fumes real bad, and my truck will drive for a min then shuts off. I have to keep putting my truck in neutral and starting it. It runs loud too if sounds like its clogged up or something, but I don't have a catalytic converter on it. It's all strait piped from the front to the muffler.

I agree with the stuck injector or bad injector o-ring. Be careful, if the injector is stuck open it can feed enough fuel into the engine to bend a rod. Especially if you open the ignition without turning on the engine.
Take your injectors to a well qualified shop and have them tested and cleaned. See if they have an ultrsonic cleaning machine. They should charge around 20-25$ each.
Good luck!
