my muffler has been off for some time now. So i decided to put a 1/2" tubbing down my cat, and its still on my truck, to knock some of that SH** out. So im under my truck shoving the pipe in it and its like im hitting a wall in there. I get to shove it about 2 inchis into the cat until i hit a wall of "what"!! So i pull the pipe back out and theres white powder stuff on it! What the hell is thats stuff? And is my cat clogged??

 

The white stuff is just what's in the honeycombs, which you have to break apart and remove with the pipe you are using and a BFH.

 

So Steel Horse, is your engine sluggish too.......cause I suspect my cat is causing that in my truck......I want to gut it too......

 

Ok, What?? I dont want to take my Cat down. So me shoving the pipe in it, will it break all that crap down?

 

Yes... Then start it up to blow the crap out. Do some more pounding, start it up to blow some more crap out, etc....

 

Kinda! IM loosing power on my take off. And my idle is ruff as if my engine is real sluggish i guess i can say. Its hard to explain it.

 

Punch the cat out, check the plenum http://dodgeram.info/tsb/2000/09-05-00.htmn ,fix it if it's blown, do this if you have not, http://dodgeram.info/tsb/1998/18-48-98/18-48-98-v8.htm ,change the plugs if the plenum was bad and run numerous bottles of Techron Plus through it.

 

lol...

 

I think thats about the 5th time you gave him the info for the plenum fix!

 

aint there an upper and lower gasket??
