Re: Catalytic Converter
That sucks. You're going to have another heart attack when you price out a new one.

That does suck... There's some shitty people in the world.

Re: Catalytic Converter
Well my deductible is 100 bucks. The Salt Lake PD can't really do anything. filled out a police report on-line but that kind of felt useless.
I haven't looked too much into the price for a new one, did a quick google search and one or two came back around 200 bucks.
who knows, maybe I should just replace the whole muffler system now. running without the converter really defeats the T4R being a hunting rig.
Maybe I should look into a Cat lock or something similar.

Re: Catalytic Converter
Check with Main Street Muffler, they put a "performance" cat on my ladies 84 with an LC Engineering motor. I don't think the price stung to bad, but it was years ago. I've had several things worked on since, always treat me right and get it done fast.

Re: Catalytic Converter
Take that back, didn't see you were in the UC. I think Kevin knows a good shop down there

Rick's Muffler in Orem is awesome.
Re: Catalytic Converter
So got my 4Runner back tonight. The mechanics welded in a new catalytic converter. Drove home and about three hundred feet from my house the engine died. I don't think it was the battery or anything electric cause all the lights and radio were still on. I decided to turn the engine over again, it started back up just fine but now I am worried this will happen again. Any ideas? I will be calling the shop first thing tomorrow.
Re: Catalytic Converter
Give them a call, but they're probably just going to look at you funny. There's not much they could have done to cause that, except maybe jack up your wiring harness and make something short to ground, and you'd spot that if you crawled under and looked.
Trucks do stupid shit sometimes, and they seem to like doing that stupid shit right before a big trip. I wouldn't worry about it unless it does it again.

Re: Catalytic Converter
Well I drove her for the five minute commute to the frontrunner station in AF. Hasn't stalled this morning yet. I guess I will take her for a longer drive tonight to see if it fails again. as for a grounding issue, should I just check the two sensors at the front and back of the catalytic converter? Any others I should look at? Not sure what I would see if it is a grounding issue. Hopefully it is something obvious so I can feel more confident driving all the way to Moab tomorrow.
Re: Catalytic Converter
Well, if the muffler shop messed something up, it'll be obvious. Melted wiring loom will be your first clue, and it'll be near where they were putting the new cat in. If you don't see anything, don't sweat it.
I'm always hypersensitive to anything my truck is doing on a road trip, and it doesn't help any when the damned thing is actually acting up. Unless it does it again, try not to freak out. If it does it again, start the truck again and keep going and try not to freak out.

Re: Catalytic Converter
Well at least if something does go wrong, you'll be with guys that know a little about 4runners. Not sure if that's comforting at all or not.

True, as long as it makes it down there. I guess tomorrow night will be a good test ride and if nothing happens on the way down there, I should feel pretty good about it.
Re: Catalytic Converter
well driving now feels like turning the handle on a jack-in-the-box, every turn and stoplight I think I am going to stall.
