Rancher, I have had 2 catalytic converters ,on 2 Ford trucks, plug up and get RED hot. One was on a little '86 Ranger(V6) that I had many years ago, and the other, just this spring, on an '86 F150 that we use around here.
Both times the pickups started to run rough,lack power and backfire,etc.
I was lucky enough to catch it before they started any fires.
This is probably illegal, but I just took the converters off, took all the guts out of them(smash it out with a bar) and put them back on the pickup. End of problem!! Made them sound cool, too!!

beentheredonethat- "Tam why don't you run your ranger out in a wheat field and leave the pickup running."
Well, for 3 reasons ,beentheredonethat.
A- Iam not Tam.
B- As I mentioned above, I had that pickup many years ago.I no longer have it.
C- Also,as I mentioned above, even if I did still have it, the converter is fixed and no longer gets red hot.
Tell us, beentheredonethat, have you ever "been" to school and "done that" reading comprehension thing??
