Yes...PCM's and Catalytic Converters are covered under the 8/80 Federal
warranty.

Its getting worse... between driving to and from work today, 6 miles
each way - it acted up 3 times.

Ok - lets follow this line of thinking for now... lets assume it is a
troubled CAT... doesn't the CAT have a federal emissions warranty? 8
years/80K miles something like that?

If its not under warranty - I'll just hack the sombich off and throw in
a high flow aftermarket cat. This is the light duty 360 set up with a
single CAT.

The truck is just really getting on my nerves, between this engine
issue, the drivers die window that rattles and sticks, the shift linkage
rattle, the tweaked front bumper, even the crappy stock stereo... The
Ram and I are having a relationship issue right now... we need some
physical therapy to fix our issues... heh
