Be honest, you guys make sure all the bolts are broke loose before filming. Because I’m doing this same thing on my Tahoe and even though it isn’t rusty at all every nut has required a breaker bar and lots o grunt lol

My cat(s) are rattling and if I recall that was the signature of them failing before. No codes but rattle is annoying. Great video
You guys have really upped the quality of your videos....nicely done!

what do you mean... it covered everything it needed to without dragging the video out, its a perfect walkthrough
a suggestion: at 10.00 minutes into the video, you talk about installing the 'new gasket' and "lining up the tabs inside the exhaust manifold", these are the important portions and details of the installation that you need closer detailed video on if you intend that an amateur home mechanic is going to benifit from and gain enough confidence to tackle this job on his own. thanks
Yes, agree. Really fast shot of the drivers side gasket install.
Good video video.
Damn I need to hire you to fix my Cadillac converter 😍

Should have used copper anti-seize on the O2 sensor threads before reinstall. Good idea to use some on the other fasteners as well. Otherwise, good instructional video.

@@1AAuto do you have to remove the crossbar for a 2004?
That first part you took off after you cut it do you know if they sell that alone the one that goes under the transmission pan
TIP OF THE DAY
I have a 2003 Tahoe 4wd 4.8 that needs a cat system I know I can do it on floor jacks and stands outside on the driveway with no garage. I would definitely spray all bolts at least 3 days before using PB Blaster on all bolts and and sensor threads. I would suggest not to use any power sockets drivers on any of the exhaust bolts I would use 1/2 sockets but when you start to unloosen the bolts and it feels tight stop and spray PB Blaster and tighten then loosen tighten and loosen You do not want to snap a bolt ! then you are FUK-ED trust me take your time.. I watched many of videos and I havent done it yet but I see problems that may occur. Just sayin ! take your time no rush ! use breaker bar and penetrate and you will be fine..
+Beach Walker Thanks for checking us out!
gonna try this to change and exhaust donut on the right side where the y pipe flange bolts are
I did the same thing except I use a torch with map gas and got the nut glowing red and they came off.
So I'm getting code430 should I do the passenger side downstream o2 sensor first? To make sure it's the cat?
I was just about to say don't forget your safety glasses but I see you have them on 💯💯💯 you did a superb job 👍👍👍👍

Hi, thanks for the video. Is there a such thing as a break in period for a catalytic converter? I just replaced mine and it seems like the mpg went down a little. However the check engine code that I did have finally finally went away. Could you please me? TIA
The transmission and shaft dropped a little when supported by the wood block. How much drop is ok?
Here in colorfull colorado i typically gotta get them hardwares glowing red with map torch
Do you guys offer just the studs and nuts for the outlet end of the y pipe to the muffler?
I have a 2002 avalanche imma replace one in.. thx for this vid
Job well done. Thank you
Very good video and tips. Thx.
+Yukon Jacque Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com
Thank you for the video.
How do I know the cat is bad. And need to be replaced?
You say code P0420. how about the P0430?
This is a great vid. Unfortunately, I don't have a lift at home. I can only get my truck up so high on jack stands. I don't think it would be high enough. I'm trying to figure how practical it would be for me to do this job in my driveway on a 32 degree day with the wind blowing. I got some astronomical price for a shop to do this for me. It sucks not being able to do this at home.
It can be done at home in the driveway. I would just wait for it to warm up a bit lol. That kind of weather will make even the simplest job seem like the worst thing ever lol. There is enough clearance for the cat to come out without even lifting the truck but that has it's own set of issues. Using some jack stands is more than sufficient. The worst part would be making sure you have enough room for the breaker bar and extensions without busting your knuckles on the concrete. If you haven't recently removed the exhaust, those studs can make you think they were welded in 😂😂😂
I know this is an old comment but you should buy ramps I I’m under my Tahoe with a creeper with plenty of room to work 👍🏻
If you replace cross member before connecting the pipes you don’t need to run that bolt backwards, you only need to lower the member to attach y pipe.
I just got the PO420 code on my 2000 Suburban. Looks like I will be needing to do this job soon. I'm going to try some Cataclean to see if that helps.
falconbrother hi there I was wondering what did you end up doing thanks
According to the factory service manual, the catalytic converters are NOT serviceable. They must be replaced.
nice tutorial. shouldn't be a problem on mine. I thought my under rust was unusual but I see it isnt. Curious how many hard brake lines you've had to replace. I think I have one original one left?
+Sam J Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Thank you so very much for saying where the gaskets go. I don’t like guessing games. Though I would like to have seen you set up the driver side gasket set, as there seems to be both a flat gasket and a steel ring. Does the steel ring go on the manifold side or the catalytic converter side of the flange gasket? Or, does it fit inside of the gasket’s hole? Your video doesn’t make it clear, and there doesn’t seem to be any instructions anywhere.
It depends first off #### metric just gunna strip it and I fount an easy way of taking of the cat if u get underneath you fender well n remove your liner you get another access. I used a hammer n chisel or socket extractors
Very helpful video. My Suburban is same year and I have the P0430 code to investigate. Your Suburban looks like its seen a lot of road salt. Thanks for the video.
+Kevin 747 Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
What did you do to fix the p0430 code?
I have a 09' Chevy Silverado 4x4 with a 5.3 liter Engine and wanted to know if this is the same way to do it as well, let me know Thanks
Im getting a P0138 code on my 03 5.3 tahoe after changing the coil on cylinder 7
What size is the wood you use to support the transfer case?
Hi guys Does this product fit on 2000 chevy silverado 2500 with 6.0 engine?
Why not change the o2 sensor while is off ?
Thanks
What code were you getting?
Mine rattled awhile and stopped now it leaks a little antifreeze? 02 silverado. Same process I. Suppose?
I need to replace my cat so I'm finding a video I can use to walk me thru it
Are these catalytics good to use in California for smog test?
+sTrE3trDr We do not carry catalytic converters that are CARB approved. Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Can a bad real main seal cause a cat converter code go off?
What is the gasket for the driver side called?
Does the driver side need a gasket? Mines doesn’t line up properly it has an exhaust leak now
I really hope the one I'm about to do isn't as rusty as this one is
What is the part number on that cat system? I can’t seem to find that style on your site for my 04 2500.
+BJ fine At this time we are not selling the item for your year, make, and model but would suggest checking partfinder.com or eBay motors.
Can you just replace the cats or do you have to replace the whole Y assembly with the cats?
+Cory We recommend replacing the whole assembly. Thanks for watching.
Can you make some Chevy impala's videos. 2000-2005 models. 3.4 engine

Should I replace both or could I change just one?
Both
Can you please show howcatalyst it off of2008 cheryvan
Why no new bolts?
Didnt have to drop the cross member just zapped all the 10s on the heat shield and pulled the 02s out and wiggle wiggle wiggle
The replace step is optional ;) no inspection around here
Tell you the truth alot harder than what u think and are doing. My studs were seized on there had to dremel them out now gotta get stud extractor or heat them out punch them out. Cats aren't easy to remove yes u can get lucky but if your cat fails they might be seized on especially the side that it's on
What would this cost me to get done?
I was told my 2001 Chevy Suburban 2500 has 4 cats. How do I verify that?
First concernI have is that you Do Not maintain SAFETY as your 1st priority. Working under any vehicle requires safety glasses which protect your eyes.
Your website
Won't let me chose between a v6 and v8 engine.. it only give me the option of catalytic converter you're Installing. .. I have a v6 4.3.
They are the same
#### the bolt if it's stubborn drill it or cut it off not every bolt is easy my has stripped even on a socket extractor a hammered it on still strips but I have no heat but hard to reach spot for a propane torch and for everything I have passenger's side almost done cept one bolt but only bc 02 sensor I'll get it but drivers side is not coming I've used big shot I'm to the point I just wanna cut it as long as I don't cut the stud or try not to
Shieza cross member that's what i was missing ( face palm)
What if a wrench doesn't remove the sensor? What if it's stuck? They are always seized. Boys and girls, just buy new sensors $10-$15 ea.
Why would you say cut it or unbolt the cross member if you have to unbolt the cross member either way to get the new part in 🤦♂️
Lol who else is here just to make sure they caddy ain’t to easy to steal 🤣
Why do we have to unplug all of those , my bad I'm not really a mechanic
On this vehicle which is bank 2?
Bank one (1) is on the driver side, bank two (2) is on the passenger side. That’s true for all GM longitudinally mounted V6 and V8 engines.
Great video but started with his safety glasses but 1/2 way though the video forgot them.
Why don't you tell ppl how tight it pose to be???
The rust on this truck damn
Not worth it. You guys can use my 2000 Chevy Tahoe for your video's . Zero rust. Nice for videos
Haha tryna get some free parts
Also this fix is expensive
So basically pay a professional with a lift and tools, 🤨🤨🤨
Quick fix, cut it off.
+Austin Evans Thanks for the feedback!
