Put gas in it and drove it around town, first time really getting to drive it since I finished up the cat removal and hot damn, loads more power under the pedal

Arrow Dodge Ram Wiper Blades

Installed the previously mentioned new trico neoform wiper blades i ordered from wipers123. Wow, what a difference - this past hot/dry summer completely roached the old ones. Installation was easy just like the last few times. Now all I have to do is send in the rebate form and get my rebate back!!

Drove it all over today, not running non fouler trick yet and so far no CEL!

Finished up the exhaust, got redneck and used some exhaust sealer crap to plug up the couple of leaks I had.

We'll see how it goes in the morning.

Tip: Anyone that has done the plenum fix and hasn't yet addressed the catalytic converter, do so ASAP, it's robbing lots of power I might actually get in trouble.....

Edit: Stopped and looked at the Off Road Edition Ram for sale in town, $3400. Body looks great except for the tailgate, it's beat up, but easy enough to replace. Didn't look at the inside.

The old headlights were looking a mite hazy again so I took after them with the trusty 3M headlight restoration kit. They're looking good as new again so I'm about as ready as I'm going to get for the elk migration. Ssssshhhh! Don't tell the elk that the Buckstop Outback bumper is on hold until next year!

Should I do the timing cover and set before the cat? It's not clogged yet, but I found a OE style cat (cat only) for $88 on Amazon..

Dude, just get some Hella's on your bumper. Loads of difference.
Just get 100 watters though, you'll be glad you did.

That'd be a mistake for the roads I drive most. I'm not a flatlander.

Probably wouldn't hurt. Think you can get MagnaFlow High Flow Cats for a little north of that price.
