So here's the deal: I drove on a bad thermostat for like ... a while. Don't really want to admit publicly how long I ignored the CEL. I got the PO120 code, but the truck fired up and drove around so I rolled with it. Didn't make it a priority until I understood what it could do to the cat, at which point I finally made the repair.
But it was "a while," and I figured the cat was fried, and I figured I would not pass emissions testing (Wisconsin).
But today I passed emissions, which has recently been privatized and would seem to be not much more than an OBDII scan at the shop down the street.
What do you think? Am I good to go, or am I both lucky and fooling myself?
I don't think I have power issues, and I was getting 20-21mpg on a recent road trip.
