What did you do to fix yours?
New cat y pipe installed for free from GM. THEY HAVE TO WARRANTY EMISSIONS FOR 80,000 MILES.

That CAT did get a plastic bag stuck to it a while back, would that do it?

The bag won't do that, but focking with the tune will.
Also, if the dlr sees the converter has been overheated, and scans the pcm, and finds a tune.. U R focked again.

As for the other dash.. Won't work if your truck has been to the dlr w/ miles higher than the Escalade dash has on it.. Focked again!

All of those are reasons I'm cutting the cats out and getting a real tune. I think I'm gonna get a tune from Black bear.

Sometimes the cats just break apart with a stock tune and a perfectly tuned engine

Got the truck back together last night... Holly WOW is it loud now!

No SES light, how long before it throws a code because of no cats?
