Default Code 420?

Hi Guys-


I had a quick question with this code do I need to replace the catalytic converter? Or is there any way around this code without spending $1000 from dealership?


Thanks in advanced,

BTW I have a 05 Jeep Gr Cherokee 4.7L

Try cleaning your o2 sensors first. If it really is the converter send me a PM. You should never buy a converter from the dealership.

Well you're over in mileage, but here is some info on federal wmissions warranties. You may want to check your local and States emissions warranty laws.
