LOL....moving because of a license plate. Why worry about CARB if you are moving? Try google, it works wonders! You will find several to fit your truck.

Just because you got a code doesn't mean the cat is toast.

The app torque said could be cat, o2 sensors, wiring, or fuel injectors. I want to re do my exhaust and part of that is high flow cats. I cleared the code waiting for it to come back if it does ill post the code

My beast just popped this code as well. I'm troubleshooting now myself...

It can be a bad cat or a worn sensor, but sometimes it's caused by the quality of fuel your running. Had this problem in my Lincoln after lending it to a friend for a trip. They only used wally world gas. After I got it back it soon started throwing the code. It would clear a bit, but would return. After running quality fuel through it, the problem went away. BTW, I did have my cat checked to be sure and it was fine

good to know.

 

I've been using Racetrack or Quicktrip base unleaded. I thought I was okay on that front.

 

I was planning on installing a performance exhaust system from the manifolds back (to try to save money day-to-day with my gas consumption), seems like a good time to do take care of this. As far as exhaust systems go, I'm not so much interested in the sound as I am the performance, you recomend one company over the other? I was looking at Borla..?

 

**I might should have (poor english, yes, I know) started a new thread...apologies for seemingly hijacking this one.

Quick Trip is a Top Tier fuel retailer

Just a shot in the dark, about what does it cost to have a cat inspected

BTW..CA has put a bounty on people who live in CA, and register there vehicles out of state..if someone wants to make some $$$ contact CHP with the info on vehicle(s) and after they check to find that you are a resident of CA for more than 30 days, the informant gets a $50 reward.. got to love it here..

 

good luck..
