Catalytic converter screwed too dude. I hear the little explosions going off down there. Yeah it's running rich no doubt. Yeah no it's not a head gasket. The oil looks fine. I'm pretty sure I've run it months on end dry. It's losing a little power this year. I don't smoke them anymore but, it's still pretty impressive for a 6 cylinder 4.0. I'm pretty sure the check engine light burnt out. lol. Problem solved. I don't even think about it anymore til you posted about the smog thing. She just keeps on going. It's a 96 with 190k on the odo. I bought it new. I'm the only one that's done maintenance. No mech has ever or will ever touch this thing. It's an old beater. I'll just keep on spinning the wheels as long as she keeps rolling. I'll be real proud if I get 200k.
Thanks for your time tho.
Edit. Oh yeah. You need a tool to change the fuel filter. Effing basterds. And I lost the one I paid a solid $4 for last time I changed it when it was much newer. I refuse to buy another tool out of principle.
