Yea that's me I had the hi flo cats on my car. Ik this is true bc when the tech opened up my engine he called me And showed me broken metal down pieces from the cats around my valves. 3500 valve job right there . And I know it's not bs but right then we pulled off my exhaust and samee metal pieces. Just bigger in size. Fell out from the resonators. These were the same metal pieces that poured out f my cats like confetti when I took them off

I have had a 12 litre diesel engine running backwards it is strange seeing black smoke coming out of the intake breather. and having the truck move backwards when you put it in first gear. That was the clue to what happened just shut it down wait a minute restart all good just need new air filter.
