Hello new member here, how many catalytic converters does a 2004 Toyota Tacoma TRD 6cyl have

Hi new member here, how many catalytic converters does a 2004 Toyota Tacoma TRD dual cab 6 cyl have and what can I do to keep my replacement one from being stolen?

 

2 if it's CARB, 1 if not

Not a ready-made solution for theft, but there have been a lot of asks lately...

 

These trucks are old, so whatever you get will be custom.

The skid plate should act as a "deterrent"....not that it's hard to remove but it's an item that doesn't leave the CAT exposed.

I wouldn't worry about it on an old truck though. Newer vehicles, especially hybrids, would have a much "newer" cat that'll fetch a pretty penny for would be thieves.

 

Well I do know much when it comes trucks and parts but my cat was stolen last night and I need a replacement, don't know how much they cost but I already know I'm screwed from the sound of it....

 

2 cats 01-04.

 

Magnaflow cats are the only ones I’ve had luck with. Looking at at about 500 in parts. Maybe more now a days though.

 

Hybrid cats pay best. But believe it or not the early 2000s truck cats pay a lot compared to a lot of newer cats. Engines are more efficient these days, the materials in the cats aren’t as impressive. Hell a whole manifold cat for a 2014 Camry is only $350 from Toyota new


(No I don’t steal cats, I’m a dealer tech. We scrap the ones we replace!)

 

That's...I don't know much...God I'm so mad I can't see straight or spell. Thank you all for the info it helps.
