    Drivers side catalytic converter replacement

    What is the reason why it needs to be changed? Code? I had an injector go and it took out the right bank cat, code PO420. Got vehicle to pass Ma. inspection, found direct fit as low as $400 from walker @ AutoZone. I'm not going to replace right now, just driving it.

    P0420

    Ah thanks now I see. So yes with the PO420 code only, my cat is def. no good, but by adding the extender will get rid of the CEL. ok. Next question it's not rocket science to install the o2 extender? A local autoZone has them. Does it have to be drilled and tapped or does it go in one of the O2...

    P0420

    Yes this same code keeps coming back. So I'm assuming that the right bank which is the side that the injector failed on is not doing it's job now and needs to be replaced OR it may be just the O2 sensor? So it's the rear sensor to start with correct? Doug

    Thought I'd bring this back up as I'm having this code with my 05. A couple months ago I had one of my injectors go and was replaced but since then this code Po420 has come up. I had my mechanic clear the code so I could get my inspection sticker, it did pass. Can i continue to drive the...

    catalytic converter

    Question is what caused it? Fuel injector? I had that happen to me, and it caused the front right bank cat to spit up a code. Put in the new injector and I am driving the car for now and not replacing the cat. Ford wants over $1000, and you can get an aftermarket Walker for anywhere from...

    Corroded tranny lines

    Hey guys, it's been quite some time since I've been on here, my wife just took our 05 to the Ford dealer we've been using for years for an oil change and they told her a few of the tranny lines were weeping fluid. They gave an estimate of around $400 for parts and labor to replace the lines. I...

    Squeak in rear suspension

    Report: it apparently was the drivers side rear sway bar bushing. Sprayed it with silicone spray, all set.

    Roof rails

    Sierra, looking at your pic from your 03 they are different than my 05's side rails. the cross rails that go on mine actually slide through a channel on the inside of the side rails, not on top. Doug

    Roof rails

    From what I can see, the 03-04 roof rails are different from the 05-06's. The e-bay rails look to be for a pre 05, not sure though. Doug

    Squeak in rear suspension

    There are coil overs but from what I can see, no all is stock on this 05. I sprayed all the bushings that I could see last night with some Armorall/water mix in a spray bottle to no avail. To me the sound seems to be coming from the shock travel area/ Probably need to get it up on a lift or...

    Squeak in rear suspension

    Ok I was outside when my wife drove in the driveway and I heard a loud squeak or squeal coming from the rear suspension area, kind of like the way leaf springs will creak. I jumped up and down on the rear bumper and I could replicate that sound but I would need someone to look under to see where...
