Inside an enlarged section of your exhaust pipe is a highly specialized filter that works hard at saving the environment while it contributes to the overall performance of your engine. Your Ford truck catalytic converter is a honeycomb structure that contains small amounts of precious metal embedded in its walls, usually platinum, rhodium, and palladium. When exhaust leaves your engine’s cylinders, it travels through pipes to your truck catalytic converter, where the metals cause a chemical reaction with the pollutants found in your raw exhaust.

Harmful substances such as hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide, and carbon monoxide are broken down at the molecular level inside your Ford truck catalytic converter, and then re-formed to create environmentally safe water vapor, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. Of course, since your truck catalytic converter works with gases, rather than liquids or solid contaminants like your other filters, it can be hard to tell when there is a problem.

Some of the signs of a faulty catalytic converter include foul-smelling exhaust, rough engine running, and a decrease in fuel economy. Since these problems can be attributed to other engine components, a bad Ford truck catalytic converter is most often detected when you are having other exhaust work done, or during an emissions test.
