Catalytic Converter Thievery September 12, 2016, 07:41:07 pm Just came across this article on Bankrate.com so wanted to give a heads up. Apparently SUV's are prime targets due to their height so motorhomes could be targeted as well. Keep an eye on your LD!Thieves eye catalytic converters for metals - Bankrate.com

Re: Catalytic Converter Thievery Reply #4 – September 13, 2016, 10:43:30 am When I purchased mine they were $150 and I had them installed ($50 each) although you can do it yourself if you can get under the vehicle. You may want a mechanic to do the work due to the "fibers" drifting down on you from the strap. Pretty straight forward. The alarm(s) are just clipped to the battery. Be sure to start your vehicle once a week to keep the truck battery charged unless it's on your rig with solar.About ready to order one for my LD. That Cat is HUGE. Should come with fangs.Kent
