Need to be able to talk to the PCM, to see what IT thinks is going on. Makes troubleshooting MUCH easier.

The service manual has a pinout for the diagnostic port. See which wires aren't doing what they should.

Bad cat is most likely a product of the blown plenum. Bet the front O2 isn't in the best shape either.

Grab the appropriate service manual for your truck, check the wiring diagrams. See what's up with the data port.

You must not have emissions inspections in your area. They'd fail anything they can't connect to here.

Yep no emissions and it is not throwing any codes. I just cleaned out all the pieces of cat and put the pipe back up. I have gone and check everything with the OBD-2 (wires, fuses, connectors, etc... )and there is no reason it should not be reading had two mechanics look at it and they cant figure it out. On the plus side the truck is running great.
