That being said, the catalytic converter in my pickup has gone bad. A "direct fit" has been priced at $440, but a "universal fit" is $300. Is there really any difference? I only want to keep the truck another year or two tops.
$440 for a cat? You're being ripped off if you pay that much.

Go to a salvage yard and get one off a truck, take it to a muffler shop and ask them to weld it on for $100 (or less).

If you're not keeping the truck, don't get a new one. Junk yards rule.
