Catalytic Converter Swap Question

[bourcier700]

Just bought a 1997 4.0 ranger, while fixing an exhaust leak I found that both converters are leaking/have holes. I have a parts truck that is a 1995 2.3 with good converter on it, my question is can I use that converter on the 4.0 or are they different any help or advice would be awesome.

That 2.3 should only have one large converter. The 4.0 has 2 at least small converters immediately after the manifolds. Maybe another large one down stream. My 04 had 3. What do you plan do do with one converter to replace 2 with?

Your better off replacing them new with the proper ones wiggle the muffeler if it has a bunch of crap in it replace it also. Your engine will run alot better with a good exhaust system. A good muffeler shop will only replace what needs to be replaced its alot cheaper if you have the parts for them to put in and it gets done right.

thats odd, b/c my ’98 4.0L only has one down stream cat, nothing on my y-pipe of anywhere else.
