    Hi all, I have a 2006 reg cab 4x4. On my way home from work tonight it was like someone flipped the power switch on me. All of the sudden there was about a 20% drop in power and the motor is a little louder. Any ideas?

    First month of ownership... This month I'm removing front air dam, and also Rhino lining the bed.
    Bad gas can do that.

    I checked the plugs...they look fine but one of the coils is brown. Also, the plugs weren't that snug

    Update...the truck threw a cel. Turned out to be p0420. That, coupled with the drop in power is making me think cats. Any insight
