im new to this forum and to rams. i just got a 96 5.9 2wd. its leaking exhaust out the air tube on the bottom of the cat. i cant find anything thats suposed to hook to the air tube. what should i do? someone told me to just pinch it shut, but i dont know. thanks

 

anybody?

 

air tube on bottom of cat???what the crap are you talking about??

 

the only tube on mine is the tube that is the hanger thats welded to it. That i can think of at least. I will take a look at mine and get back to ya. but i dont think it has one.

 

Mine doesn't have an air tube either. You sure you have the right cat on there?

 

Hey guys that sounds like the tube found on some GM vehicles with the air pump.

UP_ URSLF you may have aftermarket cat. or what you would call a universal cat.

 

Seal it up, unless you have an air pump/injector.

 

yeah, i think its an aftermarket one. the welds on the exhaust show that it has been worked on. it was stopped up and exhaust was blowin out that tube. i pinched it off and gutted the cat. now it has twice as much power. just a thought, maybe that tube had a cap on it and it blows off when the cat gets stopped up so it dont mess up the motor??

 

we'll heres what a stock ct converter loks like, minus the big access hole we cut in it. but yeah no tubes here.
