i guess it will be octane booster. just got back in the office from filling the truck and a 5 gal gas can up. thanks for the tip though. i havent been running the injector cleaner in it like i do the suv. any brand you think works better in your opinion??

lucas for gas, as a cleaner. I usually put it in everthing 2 times a year, the bikes get it as soon as they go on the road in the spring
octane booster best value for the buck

ill probably go with the octance booster. however, i think i already know what the problem is. thanks for the headsup anyways guys.

leolkfrm · 01-02-2009, 02:53 PM

so do tell, what is it?

bradrhale · 01-02-2009, 03:02 PM

still thinking it is the cat. i am going to put the booster in there anyway. afterall, it can only help. might be a good time to do some mods on the truck anyways to try and incoporate this hydrogen theory.

if you tap the cat lightly with a hammer, it would let you know if there are loose pieces in there......just a thought

i hit it with the palm of my hand and it rattled a bit. i held the heat shield so that it wouldnt rattle but is still did. thats why i think that it is my problem. think maybe i can make some money back from buying a new one fom recycling the old one??

not if it's burned out, if the comb is gone there is no value

got home this afternoon and crawled under the truck while running. the cat sounds like you are shaking a tin can full of nails. even at idle. it must not have done that this past week when i checked do to the cat was not warmed up yet. i really dont guess that any particular cat i get would make a differance. i am not going to upgrade right now but just keep it the way it is.

the only other things i have found are considerably more than this but i really dont know why. it comes with a fairly good warranty.
