On My 2000 jeep cherokee sport 4.0 auto. This xj has 76,000 on it it is under warranty until 80,000mi.......i suspect the cat converter is on its way out....do to the fact that slight loss in performance, occational smell from cat, temp creeping up while idling for long periods....It passed its recent inspection for NYS and no trouble codes are present.
Should i just go ahead and replace the cat myself with aftermarket cat or have the dealer test it and replace if it is bad ??? What test can they perform on it and what spec..do they use to determine need for replacement?? If it is still within spec and on its way out do you think they will or will not replace it.???
The dealer charge's 42.00 to test if it is NOT bad... (Waste of money)
If it IS bad it will cost me nothing and IS covered under MY warranty.
Maybe some of you dealer guys can help?? .......Thanks
