Cat Replacement

So its time to replace my drivers side upstream Cat. It has a small hole in the bottom of it. Why is it when i look for a replament, the only ones that come up are RWD? Why would that make a difference? Mine is of course a 4x4.....just cant see a difference

Rwd refers to the non-4wd normal mode.

not sure why they bother doing that since all Ford trucks are rwd

Got a new cat when I remarried. With this mindset, reread the post and die laughing.

My only thought is that the space needed for the transfer case requires the exhaust to be shaped different or moved over.
