the code its thowing is for the cat. i have 124K on the 06. i question the EGR statement by the person who took the code. went to Auto Zone they said its the cat. and also the Stealership! guess i will need the cat thanks for comments. and returns. i thought the business with the EGR was bogus. took my baby outa there. LOL The car is running well with no visiable reving problems. but will have the cat replaced.
