All's I have is a QuickD intake and t-body, so that should make no
difference, soon to have Bernd's little black box...

I live in a small town, and when I showed the service manager the new stuff,
he thought it was pretty cool. But I've also heard the horror stories from
others on the DML. But I gotta think that if they try to blame the bad cat
on the intake, they're really trying not to do any work.

My first cat went when everything was stock at around 35K, I'm now at ~75K.
So actually, the intake and t-body helped, right...

Do you have any performance stuff on your truck? I have a performance
intake and I am afraid that they are going to blame it on that, but it was
doing it before I had the intake. Do you think I should put my old stock
intake on before I bring it back?

Thanks.

Mike

No, this time I just told them it's rattling. I asked the service manager
if he wanted to hear it to confirm, he said no and scheduled an appt.

The first time, I had lost alot of power. It went in and they replaced the
cat, and then tried to get to me have a bunch of service work
performed...like charge me $200 to clean the throttle body...I said no
thanks, bought a can of cleaner for $3 and have never been to that dealer
since.

Do they give you a problem when you go back to the dealer?
