Cat's went out....

Just wondering if anybody else's catalitic converters went out on their o4-05. I have an 04 with a flowmaster cat back, a drop in K&N, and a Superchips tunner. Only 14,000 miles and only half with all the stuff on it.

What do you mean by "went out"....there should be no moving parts to a cat....

If your programer is making your truck run lean or rich it will cause the cats to fail. My bet its just a bad cat.

Could be low on blinker fluid or have a bad kanuter valve.

My truck has started to smell like rotten eggs lately.

Did you get a "Check engine light"? How did your cats fail.

I have 25k on my 04 F150 Flowmaster muffler, Airraid intake and superchips tuner

But seriously, You would have to notice a rich condition severe enough to saturate your catalytic converters in a couple thousand miles. Are you sure your computer is not just throwing a cat code due to your tuner and exhaust. I know my mustang gt threw codes until I put those o2 sensor eliminators on it.

Even though I screw up time to time I'm still right all the time. And since I'm right all the time I can talk smack. Don't forget I have a huge Internet d**k.
