I'm curious - is the CC on a diesel pickup higher or lower priority for a thief? I heard the CCs on a diesel are less likely to be stolen. But it was never confirmed.
As there are very few (comparatively) diesel pickups with traditional catalytic converters actually produced (mid 2000s only) and even less that still have them in tact, and the fact that the last diesel with a traditional cat was produced on or before Dec 31, 2006, it's not a high target item. That said, I believe you're correct in that there are other cats with more precious metals in them.
Haven't heard of much of a market for Tier IV diesel emissions components which are FAR more expensive than a traditional cat, so wouldn't be surprised if that theft was a thing. Fortunately, mine are all stored in a locked shop up in the loft, so not as accessible as those hanging under the vehicle!;)
