I met with a few folks at a local Dodge dealership yesterday. A complete search showed no Cat. Convert. on this truck when my VIN was used as a search filter nor others without the VIN filter. Continued research and various department managers lead me to the dealership GM. He agreed to take a look at what I and his folks had found.

Our meeting ended with him making a few calls to folks with a lot more horsepower than me investigating my options. So far I have been told it left Dodge without a Cat. Conv.

A generic Cat. Conv. from Autozone for the truck retails for $487.00 and then costs to modify current system and install labor. I do have the option to keep truck out of the county and register in Flag where I have a house but I loose use of truck here in Phx. I also face possible Fed charges if I knowingly sell truck to person in AZ. Smog counties without the Cat. installed.
