im getting better mileage with my cats cut off of my truck, but the check engine light is on... will it hurt it to just keep driving like that? i thought when the check engine light came on the mileage starting dropping... now im completely confused...

Agreed^^. You should get a custom tune to get rid of the ses light. Programs it out and you can make more power. I suggest getting a 160 degree thermostat first. This way, they can adjust your timing even further to makeeven MORE power.
