    Catalytic converter failure anomaly?

    Probably bent valve on 1 and 2 pull heads and take them to a machine shop and have them check the heads these trucks being fuel injected tend to not have bad cylinder walls in most cases so I don't think it is rings.

    radiator upgrade question

    97,98,99 L31 should have a filler neck. Also there shouldn't be a problem with the cooler.
