RE: I SERIOUSLY NEED HELPS!!!
No he needs cat converters, they are $1,000 a pop plus 5+ hours of labor to put them in, i've done hundreds of 3.0L cat converters for those exact same fault codes.
Un-less you wanna take the hack approch and put in universal cats and re-locate the O2 sensors.

yes a universal cat converter is $90, much cheaper route to go.

Im saying that the only cheap way to go is universal cats, no down pipes for the 3.0L are cheap.
If you've never seen the 3.0L down pipes either then you don't quite know what i mean, you almost have to remove the subframe and half the transmission to get bothcats out.

Breaking news update:
I erased theh codes using the OBDII scanner, went for smog check the first time, failed.
Drive it for about two more hours, strangely the code still haven't come back yet and I know it will probably come back soon, went there to smog again, and I PASSED IT.
The moral of the story is WTF?

so, unlike the 2.8, you can't just bolt/un-bolt the cat on a 3.0?
did they hide the cats in the engine, they should just be sitting there on the bottom

The 3.0L automatic takes me 3 hours on average with all the tools that you can think of.
