took my truck in today for check engine light CEL. This was the code i pulled from my phone scanner. The dealer said bad catalytic converter due to bad fuel i am using. They r order new catalytic converter and replacing under warranty. just thought i would share to see if others have this code before. i have 19,000 miles on truck

Where do you live? Any where are you buying your fuel & what grade fuel?edit sorry I see you are in Texas. Do you buy from the same place all the time?

Sorry youre having problems. By the way, what app is that on your ipad?

Should still be under warranty, looks like Ford is fixing to pop a couple of new afterburners on that bad boy!

Not sure. i searched and see this code is from previous years too with bad catalytic converters


i purchase regular from all over texas. i do get alot from kroger by my house. I have purchased gas there for years on about 4 different vehicles and never had problem. They said only one cat was going to be replaced if it was bad gas wouldn't both cats be bad.


App is REV app for iphone. works great. pic says ipad on signal but that was just from a theme i downloaded from jailbreaking.

Burnt out cat from bad fuel? I would imagine it's running too rich. And I agree if it was bad gas both cats should be caput.

I would agree...bad gas will not take out a Cat....but being overly rich will. Could also be a bad O2 sensor down stream of the cat.......

I had to have a cat replaced at about 3000 miles. There have been others as well. They can be found by searching on here.

I also had a CAT replaced around 5000 miles. Ford has a problem with this engine. I love my truck and all the power it has, but there are some issues with loss of power and shifting issues. I am hoping it can be straightened out with a reflash. I think these trucks run too rich.
