How much does it cost to replace a Dodge Ram 1500 catalytic converter?
I need to have a new catalytic converter put on my Dodge Ram 1500 – how much will the replacement catalytic converter cost, and is there a way to ensure it lasts a long time?

The average cost to replace a
Dodge Ram 1500
catalytic converter is $1,650. The best way to make sure your new converter lasts for the life of your vehicle – apart from routine engine maintenance – is breaking in the new converter. Most of the time your mechanic will do this for you, but if not, here’s how:- Start your engine and let it idle for five minutes
- Increase your engine speed to 2,500 rpm and hold it there for two minutes
- Let the engine cool down
Depending on why you need to replace your catalytic converter, your insurance may cover the cost of replacement. However, if you don’t have good coverage on your vehicle, you may be out of luck.
