recommended catalytic converter?

[peyton4x4]

Well I took the code reader to my truck today. Found a code that was stored ( p0420 I tbink) saying catalytic converter was below threshold. I have two converters on my truck so could someone recommend me some cheap ones so I can stay under 200? I believe thats the cause of my lost power as well

Gut them and install non-foulers on the rear o2 sensors. Thats what iv done to every vehicle i have had converter trouble out of. Will fix it right up, no light or anything.

The code is one of the rear o2 sensors; often the sensor is simply bad. Doesn't necessarily mean your cats are bad. The non-fouler trick works for a lot of people. Try that before gutting the cats.

Could I get a link to the non fouler? And are the cats bolted or welded on the 98?

They used to sell deep ones that you could just put in. These require a little fab work but work fine. You have to stack them to get the depth you need without bottoming the sensor out and damaging it.

The light hasn't come on since I've had it ( 2 months). It was just stored when I check it with the code reader. Should I just leave it be since the light has come back on?

More than likely. Are you sure you light works?

 

[peyton4x4]

Lol no how could I check it?

Thunderbolt sells some affordable high flow metal spun cats.

Turn your key on without the engine running to see if the check engine light comes on. It should be on until you crank it, then go off. If its not coming on, the bulb is more than likely removed (or simply blown) but iv seen many more removed than blown myself.
