: Plugged CAT = Mileage Drop??

My dad has a 04.5 LLY and has recently notice a drop in mileage. I think he said about 1, maybe 2 MPG. His truck has 95K miles.

Is it possible for the CAT (DOC) to get plugged up? Can this be causing this recent drop in mileage?

Check the air & fuel filters also...

I will have him check that, but I know he keeps up regularly on that stuff.

He has been running the Quadzilla for about 10K.

I would think he would be getting codes if that was the case.
