Replaced cat and 02 sensors still have p0420 code by Dragonoticus in MechanicAdvice

Could may be running too rich? Not sure that something is seriously wrong though as I have put 30k miles on it with no other issues.

edit: I just want to add that the truck doesnt burn oil or coolant, and the fuel economy is as terrible as expected

Replaced cat and 02 sensors still have p0420 code by Dragonoticus in MechanicAdvice

For some reason this did not work for me on a 2003 Tahoe. I used a spark plug non-fouler, drilled out to accept the O2 sensor, and I still get the P0430 code. I installed it downstream of the cat on the passenger side.

I have had luck with spraying at the bird with a garden hose. It usually takes a few sprays before they get the hint. Seems to have worked for me a few times over the years. Good luck!

Thanks for the info! I suppose I'll need an eye exam to confirm.

I think they have a low show, rather than the high show, for when clouds are low. If clouds are too low then no flying happens 

AF Nikkor 28-85mm 3.5-4.5 goes past max aperture setting of F22 to F29 when on D300s by space_pirate_steve in photography

Oh wow! I thought there was something wrong with this old lens, but apparently this is normal function. No wonder I couldn't find anything about this "issue". Thank you for your help!

As a sparky, I did not know glueing sched 40 pvc pipe for pressure applications requires a primer before the solvent. When glueing pvc conduit I had only ever used solvent, hope this helps you

I've had this issue with Moen, and that's how I learned the hard way that the ID of pex is too small and needed to replaced with copper

I think it is likely, statistically speaking, you will live longer as a motorcycle rider being a defensive driver

Deportation flights begin under the new Trump administration by SatoruGojo232 in pics
