Guys,
I dropped off my '95 cruiser (140k miles now, purchased a few months back with 138k) at the Toyota dealer this morning to have the knuckles /Birfields repacked ( I wanted to do this myself but I was never gonna get to it with my current work load). I also asked them to run the code on my check engine light that came on shortly after I changed the O2 sensors (DIY repair). The repack is done cha-ching but they are saying I have a bad front CAT and that it'll cost me $1,475 for the CAT and $458 for a section of pipe ??? Is there a section of exhaust that gets sacrificed when swapping out a CAT? Is there a source for a cheaper CAT replacement (generic)? Better yet, could someone tell me what the code is for a bad CAT so I can give myself a second opinion? I was hoping to go wheelin' this weekend - will it do any_more_ harm to drive the truck with the bad CAT for a few hundred miles? Any feedback very much appreciated.
Peter
