    Catalytic Converter replacement question

    https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mpe-53956/overview/ I think you are taking my post as a shot at you which it is not. But if you are suggesting magnaflows, here ya go. Just trying to help, and I bet mine do last 10 years. When you purchase upgraded parts, they tend to do just fine. SWS

    Truck has no heat front or rear.

    Fog Horn like sound from front of vehicle

    Sorry about the late reply on this, but yes, 90% of the time, it is the IAB. The noise happens because the spring that controls the valve is getting weak or is broken. When it is broken, the noise is almost all the time at idle. A LOT of aftermarket IABs do not have a strong enough spring to...

    Catalytic Converter replacement question

    Rear Wiper Not Working

    Mine doesn't work in the cold. As soon as it gets warm, there are no problems. I never thought about the park contact. I may try that just for grins. SWS

    Catalytic Converter replacement question

    All this money invested in these. Why not go to Summit racing and get a pair for 80 bux and have an exhaust shop fab the pipes? Probably 500 bux or so to do it. SWS

    swapping a 99 from f250 into 97 eddie

    There are a few differences between the 2 as far as the "options" go. The PCV system may be different depending on where the engine came from. The upper intake is different. PI engines came from the 99+ 5.4s and yours was a NPI setup. There is no problem making it fit as long as you have the...
