    I have a feeling someone was trying to steal the cat converter and they fled the scene. Why a bolt would choose to fall out right when i stop at my house in the driveway is pretty suspicious. My neigborhood is not the best, and i park my truck in the driveway. No garage. I found the bolt not really close to where i park the truck either. DAm thieves.

    OME all around. SPC UCA. This and that.
    I think you are correct on this. Exhaust bolts are usually a pain to remove. Is there tool marks on the bolt? Search TW forum for cat thieft.
