How to Properly Service or Replace a Catalytic Converter on 2008 Dodge Dakota?

Always disconnect the oxygen sensor connector(s) when fixing or replacing parts in the exhaust system to keep the harness from being damaged. After removing the band clamps, you should always use new ones. Before inserting the catalytic converter into the exhaust pipe, confirm that the burrs in the catalytic converter pipe are gone and center the alignment tang fully in the slot. Should you find that some connections are loose after removing a part of the exhaust, use the proper tightening procedures. At the point where the catalytic converter meets the extension pipe, replace the clamp and nuts, tighten the clamp nuts to 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.) torque. Check for exhaust leaks after the car has been lowered and take care of them as needed. At last, ensure that parts of the exhaust system are not touching the body panels and fix anything that needs adjustment.
