If your Cat. is glowing red,then you have a problem. It should never be glowing red. Replace your Cat.,along with your O2 sensor,and hopefully your problems will be sovled. Good luck

Message:
you shouldnt have a red hot cat, you probably need to replace it and yes it would cause you to run badly and lose power. an overheated cat is also sometimes a sign of a different problem, most likely your truck has a bad oxy sensor or another condition causing it to produce lots of emmisions.
