    Could just zip tire it to the frame and plug the bung?

    I tried that first and the light came on and never went away. It's been off since the last time so maybe it's good for now

    Damn that's really odd, man....I ran around for a good 2 weeks with a catless downpipe on my srt4 before it got tuned and never popped the light once. I asked my tuner about the HP not disabling the O2 on JTEC pcm's.

    its funny because it stayed off for about a month after i went catless but it was 60-70f degrees outside... when it got down to 40f or around there it started popping the code

    I've been debating about cutting out the cat or not...maybe I won't if HP can't turn off the idiot light. On the SRT4 it makes it run even more rich than it already does.

    Did it ding at you when driving and you noticed the volt gauge go up then back to normal? I had that happen exactly once, then never again, and that was before the write-off and rebuild. No idea what could've caused it

    there was a small leak i had to fill catch can every week or two, i saw some water or coolant dripping down the side of the radiator, i took it all apart and inspected the radiator and couldn't see any problems. i put it all back together and there is no leak now. i think maybe one of the hoses was leaking a little bit around the clamp or something.

    seems fine now

    Shit, you know what?.....I did actually replace my negative battery terminal at one point....the old one eventually cracked/broke. Might've been my issue that one time too.

    the bumpers always sag on these years dakotas, i tried to shim the bumper, but it wouldn't move enough. its like it was twisted from years of sagging on the sides.

    so bsaically i used a jack and peice of wood to bend the bumper. it looks a lot better, if you look at the old pictures you can see how bad it was looking

    The sagging is a regular thing? I always thought everyone just rear ended someone at some point

    i was sitting waiting to pull out onto highway, and when i started i could barely turn the steering wheel LOL.

    when i got home i put a little power steering fluid in and it immediately started squirting out of the passenger side steering boot.

    i bought a new steering rack, but it won't be here for a few days longer.

    i have to drive my CTS-V now. first world problems
