Default weird...

im getting better mileage with my cats cut off of my truck, but the check engine light is on... will it hurt it to just keep driving like that? i thought when the check engine light came on the mileage starting dropping... now im completely confused...

Agreed^^. You should get a custom tune to get rid of the ses light. Programs it out and you can make more power. I suggest getting a 160 degree thermostat first. This way, they can adjust your timing even further to makeeven MORE power.
