Does the motor seem like it starts up and runs OK? Does it sound like it is dragging?

I guess the first thing I would check is the resistor. It is in the top of the heater box on the inside of the truck. (under the glove box) There are two 5/16 hex head screws that secure it and it has Blue/Yellow/Orange wires that run from the heater switch to it....

Here is a picture of it. I think this picture was originally posted by member VetteVet.

The switch could possibly be bad also. I'm not sure how starting the truck would affect it though.
