The catalytic converter is an essential piece of equipment on any modern vehicle. At A-Ford-Able Auto Repair & Tire Service in St Augustine, FL, our team of professional technicians are able to diagnose and repair any catalytic converter issues your Chevrolet, Dodge, or Ford diesel pickup may be experiencing.
The catalytic converter is designed to remove toxic emissions from the exhaust that flows out of your engine, before it is released into the air. Catalytic converters are both necessary and beneficial; besides being legally required, they dramatically decrease the amount of harmful emissions produced by an engine’s exhaust. On a diesel, they are particularly important, since diesels inherently are more emission-prone than gas engines.
A catalytic converter can fail in a few ways. Ceramic internals may become broken, causing the converter to rattle, most noticeably at idle. Catalytic converters also sometimes rust at a faster rate than other components, due partially to how hot they get. On diesel engines, overheating a catalytic converter is more of a concern than on gas burners, since diesel exhausts tend to be very hot. Finally, and most commonly, a catalytic converter may clog up from carbon buildup, which can cause an array of issues from check engine lights to engine overheating.
Keep your engine flowing free and running clean by ensuring your catalytic converter is up to the task. If your truck is running rough, the exhaust feels restricted, your check engine light is on, or your engine isn’t producing the type of power it should be, the catalytic converter might be to blame. Replacing a catalytic converter isn’t a big deal, so be sure to have it looked into before other damages occur.
