    03 Possible blocked or restricted catalytic converters

    Thought I might have a problem with the drive belt, low power under acceleration,
    some squeaking sound, the belt and idler pulleys were replaced a year ago, 80660 PolyV

    Buddy thinks it might be clogged converters. They of course are not inexpensive
    and are discontinued by HD.. anyone have a line on a good replacement option
    vs $1500 for Magnaflow or Flowmaster bolt on replacements.

    That sounds promising, how much do you want for it,
    I need to get it tested to be sure that's the problem

    I might check the plugs first because I have a friend with a 03 that at idle it had a little miss and when he drove it and tried to accelerate the truck wouldn’t really get up and go. He changed the coils and plugs and it fixed his problem but if you do need that mid pipe I can make you a deal for that and a magnaflow catback minus the 2 pipes that go over the rearend because the truck had bags on it with a turn down tip.

    Thanks, thats the plan, at 170K I'm going to replace all the coils,
    they are not that expensive also going to a muffler shop to have them
    do a test on the cats for temp, see if they are working or which one
    is bad, doubt all 4 are.

    I'll let you know as soon as we get through the initial checks
