Default HELP I've Fallen and I can't get up!!!

Guys I'm on the Road with a 99 2500 V10 and it's running like POO POO..

It won't accelerate past 55mph down hill and struggles to 20mph up hill... it's eating 1+ Gallon a mile....( or so it seems )...

Fuel pressure is 48 while driving

Yup a clogged cat can defiantly wreak havoc. If you're not in Cali, we carry new catalytic convertors here for all kinds of applications. Tony
