We did about 2 or 3 deletes off our work trucks a while back. We had the things sitting around so my mechanic was asking around about what to do with them......scrap guy said they weren't worth anything except scrap rate. So we dumped them for next to nothing. About a month ago my mechanic is talking to a a guy at a shop In town and he says he will give us like $200-$300 a piece for them. For Fox Creek. Scrap guy probably knew all along, stupid bugger.

WTF is wrong with the guy buying these things? If some crack head comes in with a bunch of brand new cats with fresh sawzall marks, wouldn't that raise some questions?

you would think so, but there also is a great market for stolen sled and atv parts. cheap and no questions asked.

The amount of honest work in this province is staggering yet this douche has to steal cats? Take him behind the barn and be done with him, or at least one hand.

diesels all have catalytic convertors, as well as the dpf's on the newer diesels
