    Since you have no cats installed on your truck you need to have dummy sensors to replace them to fool the ECU to thinking its reading the O2, there is more to it but that's what you need to start with

    Sounds like your blinker fluid is low. Maybe disconnect the Johnson Rod

    I'm sure I saw a write up here on how to pull the gauge pod and then switch the wires feeding the CEL and the low washer fluid warning light. That's your best bet. They'll never have a clue. Unless they plug in to your OBDII. As for the smell coming from your tailpipe, you'll just have to stop using unscented gasoline. The scented stuff isn't available at every filling station so you may have to ask around.

    Good luck, and be sure to let us know how it goes! :)

    why in the world would you knock out the cats in presumably CA (or another state that has smog) that just sounds like all sorts of stupid.

    Do you work for VW? If not, I think they have the solution.
