is your mid pipe stock? if so did the check the backpressure before the cats? sounds like a restricted cat causing excess pressure.

time/mileage/bad gas/getting hot enough.
my old `97 gmc truck killed the cats twice in 3 years, and the 2nd set were dealer bought OE. One of the reasons I only use the cats when I have to do a smog test...don't feel like spending $750 for 2 years of functional cats ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
