come on down to nj and waste my truck

 

LOL indy shut ya mouth!

But no, the pcm has not yet been reset, I will do that today when I'm out of class, and let ya guys know what happens.

 

Don't need to replace the muffler bearing, it just needs to be greased. First get a big handful of grease, then just reach up in the muffler till you find it.

 

Instead of pulling the battery terminal to reset the pcm just pull the plugs off of the pcm.

 

Remember, this has to be done while the truck is running, and preferably while it is in drive.

 

I wouldn't do it this way. To much chance the you will accidentally break the clips on the plugs, or get dirt in there, preventing a good connection. Those plugs are designed to make a tight seal against the elements, so removing them to do that means you break that seal. Battery is a better option in my opinion.

 

moreso than that...electrical charge on the pcm...not the best idea.

 

Hey guys, what is a "muffler bearing", and what does it do?

 

Well at the expense of ruining my clothes for getting underneath the truck on the slushy streets I took some pics of the exhaust, the y-pipe and the header collectors. This was my first time I really got to get underneath the truck and see what he did. I don't know if this is strange or not, but he put the collector of the passenger side header directly into the gutted cat. Then he started the y-pipe from the cat etc. Does that seem weird to you guys at all? Anyways, it looks pretty neat down there, I took some pix of underneath the truck the best I could, and I took some pix of the truck as well. You can see while I've been officially depressed this winter, for the past 2 months my truck pretty much always looks salty like this...it's really annoying lol.

Yea thats not right at all. Let's pretend that it is a functioning cat. for it to work it needs to have all of the exhaust going through it. Now, you have a gutted cat so it isn't doing anything anyways but, being hooked up right to the collector dosn't seem right to me. If an emissions guywassmart (wich they probabably are not) and wanted to be a dick they wouldn't pass the cat being in that spot. If it were me I wouldn't accept that work. He's ruined the flow of that passanger header. he shouldn't have cut the y-pipe. Maybe he put it there so that the O2 connector would reach.
