Product Overview
A rusted shell, broken catalyst brick, collision damage, or confirmed efficiency failure can make the rear converter the right repair on these compact pickups. This assembly replaces the long rear exhaust section on matching engine, cab, wheelbase, and emissions configurations.
A diagnostic code alone is not enough. Test for exhaust leaks, oxygen-sensor faults, misfires, rich operation, and oil or coolant burning first. This Federal EPA part is not for states that require CARB-approved converters.
This is a high-quality aftermarket replacement or service part and is not manufactured or supplied by the original equipment brand. The names below identify compatible applications only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this fit both 3.0L and 4.0L trucks? A: It is listed for the specified model/engine combinations, but exhaust layout and wheelbase still need verification.
Q: Will it fix a P0420 or P0430 code? A: Only when the catalyst is confirmed faulty; leaks, sensors, and engine problems can set similar codes.
Q: Can it be used in California? A: No. Use only where a Federal EPA converter is legal for the vehicle.
