I'm glad it was an easy fix! Good call about avoiding stone chips. With the
lovely job MDOT (Michigan) does with repairing the pot holes, there is
schtuff flying all over the place.
How many people does it take to fill in a pot hole on Michigan? 7
1 driver of the truck with asphalt driving at 2 mph
3 people walking behind with shovels to throw it at the hole, sometimes
across two lanes of traffic
1 driver pulling flashing arrow
1 driver pulling flashing arrow
1 driver pulling flashing arrow, I am not stuttering
BTW, the drivers with the arrows must be told to avoid driving over the
mounds of loose asphalt - probably so they don't have to wash the trucks. We
citizens are in charge of rolling the patches into place. What a great
concept - when the width of a pothole is 2 feet and our tires are 8 inches,
the patch is squeezed to the outsides with a divot in the middle. Nice a
smooth. NOT! Sorry for the minor rant, but it's pretty amusing.

nothing special. I think it's running rich but the dealer says it's
fine...typ
i don't drive freeway (trying to avoid stone chips).
Actually the cat was fine (False alarm). The hangers were loose so they
tightened it up. But i told the service manager that i will be back in 8
months for a new cat. She said we will see. It goes out every 9 months. I
have been wanting to change it out to a high flow but not if they keep going
out.

5th cat?!?!?!? I'm only on my 3rd with my '92! Highway is supposed to be bad
on the cat's so I thought every 4 years was a good pace. 5?!?!? What in the
world are you doing to that yellow monster? That's crazy.

Tim,if you thought you could get away with it,hollow
it out.That`s kinda rediculi. 5 cats is
excessive,considering how long they`re supposed to
last,and it doesn`t sound like they are on the right
track."Running just great" is something I have heard
quite a bit myself from dealer
mechanics.Nerve-wracking,ain`t it? Steve P.
