Mil Eliminators

[90lxwhite]

Do you guys think that the mil eliminators made for the 96-04 mustang would work on an 07 expedition with the 5.4 liter by chance? It's the wifes, and recently I got a code for bad cats so I changed them with universals and now I still have the code. I don't want to spend the $1500 or whatever it was for an oem catalytic converter. Thanks if anyone knows anything. I tried getting some info on the ford trucks forum but no one really responded. So I thought I'd try old faithful

why not just get a hand held tuner for it and have the tuner turn the back 02's off?

because I'm guessing there is about a $250 difference.

Yeah slick just "googled" a tuner and superchips is wanting $429 for theirs vs the $80 mil eliminatior. I hear a fella can make one from radioshak parts on the fairly cheap but im not that confident in my wiring skills so I'd rather have a plug and play. But yeah why not spend $430 to turn off rear o2's... I'd rather ride w the light on

I'd try and find out what the real problem is first before investing in parts to circumvent the issue.

If the original set of cats on an 07 where bad, i'd say there is an issue that caused that.
o2 sensors usually don't care what brand cat you put in either.

I have a feeling there is an underlying issue causing your problem.

Were they fouled from whatever killed your cats? Cats don't just fail. Typically with mod motors I see leaking head gaskets at the number 4 cylinder spewing moisture into the exhaust any toasting the cats.

Spark plug non foulers , ran 2 on each side on my 00gt with no cats and never had a cel

PS: I think some fuel injector cleaner is what killed the cat
