 Subject: Catalytic Converter Failures
IP: Logged
Message:
OK, this is getting ridiculous. My catalytic converter failed again, for the 3rd time now since I have owned this truck. 1998, V6, no mods to the engine, 204,000 miles. The first one failed at around 100k, then again at about 160k, and now it failed again at 204k. When I say they failed, I mean they literally came apart internally, they sound like quarters in a can when removed.
Why?

You might look at the condition of your engine - whether it's running too rich, not tuned properly, etc. It's very unusual for that to happen so often. Running rich raises the temperature of the converter dramatically and embrittles the internals.
