Oven cleaner works good too.... I sent mine to the machine shop to be hot-tanked. But, I had a spare that I was modding, so, could still drive my truck while it was out. (for a friggin month...... race season.....)

 

I had to replace my cat at about 69K. Drove fine one morning but had it on the highway and noticed less and less power...by the time I made it to the Dodge house (about 50 miles away) I could only do about 20 mph....I thought tranny when it happened to me too.
Wish I had know about the disabling the front O2 sensor.....

 

SUCCESS!! sort of. I broke a vacuum line. But other then that everything went smooth! Also cracked my throttle body. Wasn't paying attention when i was tightening the bolts. But the crack is in a place that still lets it function properly. Everything else is torqued to spec. I was really surprised how little torque the plenum bolts get. 84 in lbs isnt much at all.

can anyone tell me what it goes to?

@Tim I did check my tranny fluid again in neutral and it was within the appropriate range.

 

Is that pic over on the passenger side? If so, that goes to the HVAC controls... You are gonna wanna fix that.

Yeah, 84 inch pounds isn't much more than finger tight..... scary innit.

 

yep passenger side. What happens if i dont fix it right away?

 

Your vents only blow out the defrost. Good to be able to see, but, nice to be able to have warm toes too.....

 

i thought that to. But on my drive home i went through all the settings and they all worked..

 

That's interesting... can you get a pic from a bit further away?

 

tomorrow i will. its dark here now. ill also check to make sure im right about all the settings working right

 

here is the photo you asked for. Far enough away i hope.

Forgot to check all the hvac settings. But ive got to go return a few burrowed tools to autozone so i will check em then.

Also i have a question about removing the cat. How exactly do you do it? 2 pipes go in from the headers and 1 comes out. If you cut the cat out you would have 3 pipes correct?

Edit: All the hvac controls work. When i get up to a certain speed it seems to change settings though. about 45 mph or so. But its done that before. normally it does it at about 60-65 mph though.
