Krewz i will solve your dilemma, ship it to me and i will glady take it off your hands for ya... problem solved

gm offered an option in the 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks which was airbags. they have nothing to do with the o2 sensors, how ever, when you got the airbag option, it had the rear o2 sensors as well. i have seen trucks without bags and still have the rear o2 sensors, but every 1 ton i have worked on so far has'nt. i have a 2000 with a vortec 7.4 that doesnt have them. i just did a 98 dually the other day that i put a billet steering wheel on, and the customer couldnt because it had an airbag from the factory!! had to remove the bag and clock spring to make it work. the customer was going to just remove the srs bulb after he got it back. who knows what all gm does!! its aways better to look at these damn things than to go off the vin # theres no telling what the factory threw in

Finally got mine finished today, took of both cats, put in some straight pipe and done deal. Already had the pipe so didn't cost me nothing but time. No ses light and doesn't sound really any different, just a hair louder. While I was at it, I raised up the crosspipe from the drivers side manifold to where the cat was, as it used to hang down too far. So killed to birds with one stone.

Sorry low, its staying up here, unless you gotta a crapload of cash.

Thanks for the advice guys, save me some cash.

brianbgboy I believe you if you say you've pulled the bag and clockspring out of one; I guess I've just seen the opposite, always - no airbags, and they do have rear o2's. Hell I've got three here right now that fit that scrip. A '96 and two '98's, though one '98 is a 5.7, the other two trucks 7.4's. I have had some lengthy debates with a few people about airbags when they call me for parts, only to later have to show them that the horn cover on their truck is just that, a horn cover that is styled to look like an air bag. They never seem to listen when I tell 'em "go read the steering wheel, does it say 'supplemental inflatable restraint' anywhere on the horn button?"

Of course one of the '98's fails that quick check because of the column swap I mentioned earlier.
