umm, ok... funny thing about that.. umm, i removed the original cat about a year ago when i put duals on the truck. i had planned on gutting it... to my surprise, all that existed was a piece of 1/4" mesh... nothing else... needless to say, i didn't bother gutting it then... haha... the truck had about 210,000 miles on it then, so it is possible that it could have just deteriorated... also, i just recently replaced one of my original O2 sensors- after 280,000 miles! whoever wants to say that Dodge makes ****ty stuff can come look at my truck... I'll prove 'em wrong.. I've still got the orginal tranny in it! people gripe about that all the time... I've done band adjustments and fluid/filter changes, but thats' it... it's never been unbolted from the engine, which, aside from the water pump, is all original too... the previous and first owner (aka: my step-dad) never even did any of that... the first weekend i had it, i drained the original tranny fluid, replaced the filter, changed the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor (all of those original too), it ran like a new truck... it's still going too, now with about 290,000 miles... last weekend i drove it from my home in east texas to keystone, co. with no problems whatsoever... don't believe me? come see for yourself... i've even raced with it, it runs a 17 flat quarter, which is impressive, given what it is... yeah, and all that on the orignal tranny too... haha...
