wondering what PSD trucks had cats and which ones didnt.
what year did they start using them?
all 250s 350s, super duty's??...certain states?
can anyone clear me up on this?
i really had no idea they put cats on diesels. at least until 07. (big stuff)

MY OTHER CAR IS A KENWORTH T-2000.(LARGECAR)
in fact we are sitting in it right now down by LAX.

 

I think they started putting CATS on PSDs beginning with the 03 6.0 liter.

 

Many early 99's had them. Lot's of 6-speeds had them in 99-00. Some sold in California equipped with a cat.

 

thanks-

how do you know if your truck was originally equipped with one?

well---i dunno bout the left coast but cats didn't occur over on the right coast till the introduction of the 6.0 psd.

 

we just bought a used f350 2001 drw 4x 156 inch and am looking forward to some mods.
so looking at the bottom side the other day to check out the exhaust...i see a long straight pipe back to the muffler and it looks very stock but appears to have no kitty bump. so i'm wondering has it been deleted or was it stock w/o.

thanx again folks,
chuck

 

Not sure about the cat's but i hope the kenworth is comfortable, because you'll be in 405 traffic (by LAX)for awhile!!!

 

Heading north the 405 doesn't ease up till you reach the 5 (maybe), going south, 405 merges with the 5 at the Orange County Y (Orange crush). South on the 5, you might luck out on traffic by the time you pass San Clemente.

No diesels used cats prior to 1990.

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

 

105 for an hour so far...605 north to 10 and then we'll see ya in orlando in about 50 hours...

hey kanuck, i havent seen that cat either...

 

and by the way--the Kdub is pretty comfy--
we call it the "rollin ramada"

 

Only the Californicated 7.3l's came with a catalytic converter, so it's very probable that yours never had one.

 

thanx-great info-

so much for orlando in 50 hours...
blew a clutch in coachella/indio

 

I love this reply! If I had that info....I would have said it to!
