I bet you didn't know the cats were still under warranty??
Yes, the ABS modulator is what I should have said.
You may need to crawl under the truck and listen for the noise while some one else starts the truck and runs the idle.

What sort of noises will I be looking for? Will the noises come from the modulator?

sounds like it may just need a tune up.

Nah, I've already done all the basic tune-up stuff that can be done. It's somethin else.

every once in a while I get a rumble, but not bad. My block was replaced in 2000, and I think it was a Bosch, put that on a GEMS and you get some vibration. The firing on a Bosch is supposed to compensate for the vibe. I read an article about it...

It runs smoother than my buddy's 2000, and he only has 80K on it, so I am happy with mine. Cats seemed to make it better...

Well my abs sensor is bad and has been for about 10K miles, maybe that is screwing with the other abs components. I do indeed nhave the abs, hills decent and tv warning lights up. Maybe after fixing that it will come back up. Do you guys know if there is a way to manually reset the computer so the warning lights dont come up, because I would like to get the trucks sensor fixed by a cheaper mechanic than LR, although I'm afraid if he does the work I will still have to go to LR to get the computer reset... is that true?

I believe there is only one way to reset that stuff and Land Rover has the multi-thousand dollar piece of equiptment to do it. Some Land Rover specialty shops do it, but LR is usually it.
