Holy crap, just tested my cat with a temp gun, 700 degrees in and400 degrees out, time to get a new cat.
Thanks for the information!
That is the way it's supposed to be.
Page 1 ofthis thread:
Catalytic Converter:
The best way to test the cat is to have someone in the cab rev the motor to about 2000 or 2500 rpm's and put a temp gun on the input and output of the cat. the output should be around 50 deg hotter than the input for proper cat operation. if the temps are the same, the cat is not working, if the input temp is high and the output temp is low, you have a plugged cat and you should have it swapped out immediately.
I was 300 degrees hotter coming in than going out, it was definitely plugged up.
Found this while surfing the net, tried it and it works great, makes all four bulbs burn at once for an extremely bright drive at nite
Possibly a new solution to an old problem.<br><br>I wanted to have my low beam lights to stay on when switching to high beams. I was poised with pen in hand getting ready to write a check for a Brite Box. Then I remembered that I was an electrical engineer and should be able to do this myself.
Great statement. LMAO
