Ok, from a previous thread, where I posted I couldn't get past 65mph or 2600rpm driving, the consensus was my cat(s) were clogged. Took it to a local shop and the mechanic started my truck (2001 3/4 t 4x4 w V-10), and he immediately said, "man your cats clogged badly".

I crawled under my truck in the snow to verify my O2 sensors are in the downpipes coming out of the manifolds, and I have no post cat O2 sensors. He recommended losing both cats since we do not have emission testing here. I verified with the service manual I do have dual air injection tubing going to each cat. The big question: how do I handle this with removing the cats? Is the air injection something I can just close off? or do I need to do something special?

Input needed, would like to cut the gas hoggers off asap.

Thanks.

 

Cut 'em off and bend 'em over.

 

Well hell if that's the case I can just throw the pump away! All I need to do is measure the belt to put on a shorter one.

 

Probably save a few horses in the process, too.
