Chevy CK Pickup Catalytic Converters

There are tens of millions of vehicles on the road in the U.S., and of course, all of them contribute to air pollution. Especially when it comes to large urban areas, the amount of pollution that all of the vehicles produce together can lead to major issues. In order to solve these issues, cities, states, and the federal government have enabled clean-air acts, which are legislated to restrict the amounts of pollution that vehicles produce. Over the decades, major automakers have introduced many engineering novelties to vehicle engines and their fuel and exhaust systems in order to keep up with the strict laws and regulations. One of the most significant changes came about with an introduction of a device known as a catalytic converter.

The job of the catalytic converter in your Chevy CK pickup is to convert harmful, hazardous pollutants into less harmful compounds by creating a catalyzing redox (an oxidation and reduction) reaction, just before the exhaust gasses can escape the vehicle’s exhaust system. Some of the most widespread reasons for catalytic converter failure are contamination, clogging, and overheating.
