one of my '96 has the rear O2 sensor wires cut
its shows a 0138 code on a scanner, but the engine check lights illuminates at switch on, then goes off, as if everything was all good !

I have a 96 and it rattled too. I ran with it gutted for a while and eventually replaced it with a pipe with a port for the sensor. The pipe sounds much better than the gutted cat. I don't normally get a light but I have noticed in the winter if i'm wheeling in the snow in 4wd and really burning a lot of gas in a short time the light comes on. It usually goes away after a day or two of highway driving though.

I had a shop do it because I didn't have a welder yet and he flared the ends of the pipe for me. He had a stack of sensor fittings and just mig welded one in. I got a borla glasspack behind it and theirs not any drone that I can hear over the tires.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! Never seen a cat delete thread that didn't devolve in to a flame war. These are some great forums.
