Hey all I have an '02 Ranger Edge, 3.0 V6. I have been through a lot of BS getting my truck back on the road. Long story short, my original problem has been my cats. Dunno which one yet. If I'm not mistaken, I have two precats and two rear cats. Pretty sure one of my precats has gone bad causing the next one in line to go bad. Been getting quotes from local muffler shops to get it fixed However, a local garage here in town told me he could eliminate the precats altogether and just go with two new main cats. Does this sound ok? I've researched on this forum and a couple others and am getting differing opinions. Some say it's ok, others say "if it wasn't needed, it wouldn't be there". Also, if I go with this option, won't the computer sense that the precats are gone? Just looking for some clarification. Thanks
