After sweating through replacing the rotten OEM exhaust manifold, I found the catalytic converter on our 1997 TJ 4.0L w/ 100K has developed that nasty rattle from busted ceramic. I guess the exhaust was so loud leaking out the manifold that we never noticed the cat noise until now.
I was all excited to read in this newsgroup that the EPA sued Chrysler and got a settlement to replace these defective cats up to 10 years and
120K miles:What's up with that; aren't they the same catalytic converter?
So am I going to have to fix this at my own expense, like the manifold?
I visited the dealer and called Chrysler and they swear they've never heard of this EPA settlement, and they refuse to fix it.
