Now it runs horrible. 5 miles to the gallon and black smoke from the exhaust. Never ran this bad before. always got at least 13-14 miles to the gallon. What happened?? HELP!!! Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Mar 24, 2007, 11:21 AM Post #2 of 3 (2790 views) Re: 1997 Dodge Dakota V8 catalytic converter Sign In This brings about the questions: Why did you get a new converter in the first place? Is that the only thing that was done? And--why aren't you bringing this up with them? Sooner the better as if you see black smoke the new converter if even not defective will be junk soon if not now. The work needs to be checked now!

He is not open on Saturdays. That would be why I havent talked to him yet. The converter needed to be replaced. The truck was brought to the garage because we thought that there was something wrong with the altinator. It turned out to be a dead cell in the new battery that we bought a month ago. Seeing as we knew that it needed a new converter we had them put a new one in. Now we have the low gas milage and black smoke, which we did not have before the new converter was put it.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
