Default Getting rid of my catalytic convertor. Who makes the false o2 sensor plug adapter?
My trans is screwing up but my cat is what's causing part of the problem. Who makes the termination resistor for the sensors?

Just get two spark plug non-foulers. Take one, and drill it out with a half inch bit. Screw the unmodified one into the exhaust, screw the modified one into that, and then install the O2 sensor. End of problem.

Remember you must have the front O2 sensor in the exhaust and functional otherwise the truck will not run right, get poor fuel economy, and lose power.

Why not just replace the cat with a highflow one. Magnaflow ones are around 100 dollars online and your helping the environment too.

Had my exhaust guy just gut mine and weld it back. No performance issues here.

don't go with an O2 simmulator, i took a tranny out with mine. Go with the spark plug non-foulers and you won't have a problem.

Please explain how you can break a tranny from an O2 simulator. they are not correlated at all.

I used the O2 sim for 5 years with no problems.
