Ray the downpipe is a PITA on all of em. Nothing you can do about it. It makes a huge difference having another person there to help out.

Yeah, I did them in the winter, all my help was laid off, all my friends have real jobs. All I do in the winter usually is wait for snow.
Its actually a lot of fun trying to do yourself, like a challange. Floorjack, Stepladder. repeat 10-20 times per truck, yeah fun, thats it.

You'll have to point out the cat on my truck because I don't see one on my stainless turbo-back 4" exhaust. Only Cali trucks had cats as far as I know. At least on the SuperDuty trucks. I think they were able to do without the cat because of the split shots in the 99-03s.
Manual tranny SD's have a cat. Auto trannies are catless.

Trackspeeder, I put the lights in at the North Branford High School Football Field, way more years ago than I care to admit.
Catless, like my house 2 pitbulls = no cats

I got around to tinkering with the Suzuki.
The plug-valve in the fuel selector valve was dry and wedged in place.
The motorcycle quit because fuel was right at the reserve level.
After pushing the bike around / transporting it, fuel would slosh into the 'normal' line and eventually refill the carb.
I have new o-rings, bolts and washers on order.
Then I'll grease the plug and rebuild the valve.
