Where abouts in the trunk is it...... I haven't noticed that before. If it is for trailer wiring any voltmeter or test light should help you figure out what pin does what.

cwdtmmrs,
Are you sure that you aren't just experiencing "gear rollover" when it's being lugged? Most Diesel pickups with a manual trans will do this when lugged at lower speeds.

Another thought I have is a weak battery. When the engine is hot the compression is higher/the engine is harder to turn over fast enough. If the other stuff doesn't fix the problem check the battery.
