1999 S10 catalytic converter issue - 5/8/2008 2:05:23 PM    mailortaxes   Posts: 3 Joined: 3/23/2008 Status: offline Just had a code read for a bad catalytic converter. Truck is a 2.2L w/205K miles. No problems otherwise. I've seen parts on ebay and other online sites fetching anywhere from $175-250 for this part. Anyone had theirs replaced or have an idea what one would cost installed?   Had the fuel pump and front pipe replaced within the last year too. I've had this truck for over 6 years and it has been reliable for the most part. I would hate to part with it under such conditions. Is it time to move on to something else?   Thanks! Post #: 1

They installed a universal cat for $300. they just cut the old one out, and welded a new one in. Having a smaller engine, you may get away with a smaller\cheaper cat. that price was in canadian dollars so you may get it cheaper if your in the us (in reply to mailortaxes) Post #: 2

Anyway, catalytic converters are so expensive because they have a platinum element. That being a rare earth metal, it makes it expensive. _____________________________ In Obama''s new Nation, you pledge with your hand over your crotch instead of your chest.
