Default HELP ASAP

drivin home from work..the truck just absolutely losses all its *****. Barely wanting to go..but still moving. I was going bout 70mph when it happened..get off the interstate and it still driving. I do not think its a transmission problem. Its almost as if the air/fuel mixture is screwed up. But then again, if i punch the gas real hard, it wont drop down into gear. anybody have any ideas? if anyone has had this same problem...email or call me.. cagle93@hotmail.com 706-339-1587

it's on the exaust system.. before the muffler, after the headers.

if it's the stock set up the headers off the block should flow back and connect together under the passenger side about the same area as the firewall. they then flow into the catalytic converter and out straight to the muffler and out the back end of the truck.

get it checked at the dealer or by an exaust shop.

Thats not to healthy for the engine [&:] Thats VERY low back presure. Get it fixed ASAP. Take your VIN to the dealer and see if your under the extended warrenty.

Also GET A HIGH FLOW MAGNAFLOW CAT. They're cheaper then factory replacements and better performance!!!
