I have a 6.4 gas 2500 and I can't find anyone selling a plate that covers the catalytic converters.

My neighbor got his stolen of a little Toyota Tacoma last week, and now I'm worried about the Ram which is easily 2x higher off the ground.

Does anyone know of a vendor for these plates?

Maybe something to look at: Works for 1500's, you would need to check sizes, etc.,.



HERE IS ONE SPECIFIC FOR 2500:




There are plates out there, willing to bet more self made stuff, you just gonna have to search and look around. I am just not real up on 2500 parts. Most I have seen for 1500's.

OK, but I have zero knowledge of crazy California stuff.

Was happy I found something that could work for the OP.

I wouldn't mind temporarily deleting it, but doesn't it throw codes if it sees its not inline? I don't know how to tune an ECM to adjust for a deleted cat. CA also checks ECM's to see if theyve been altered. If I changed it it would have to be restored to the exact factory data each reinstall

Putting a shield over it is in many ways less of a hassle than deleting the cat.

Contact this place & see if the 2019 will fit or they can build you one.
