I realize this is an old thread, but I was searching "catalytic converters" and it came up.
I just took my 89 B2600i through DEQ (emmissions) for the first time. I've had it for several yrs but lived outside "The Zone" so never had to mess w it before. It passed the sniffer test but failed the equipment test because there was no cat. I've been under this thing plenty of times but never noticed it wasn't there...and everything looks factory.
I was wondering if this was normal for an '89? The dude I bought it from lived inside "The Zone" and it had current tags so somehow he managed to get it thru...just seems weird and I was wondering if this was common.
Anyway, now I have a shiny new $100 ornament hanging under my truck for exactly no reason...it ran fine w/out the thing, and that's kind of my point.
