The scrap value for a 2001 Ford F-150 catalytic converter is $850. If your vehicle has problems with the catalytic converter, it can lead to several issues. The most noticeable is black smoke coming from under the hood, which isn't a fire, but you should still turn off the vehicle right away. You'll also find the engine is sluggish and slow to accelerate, with a significantly reduced top speed. Additionally, you might detect a smell of sulfur or rotten eggs coming from beneath the car. The average cost to repair a catalytic converter ranges from $950 to $2500, including parts and labor. Although it's a pricey repair, it’s essential to get it fixed.

    I just got 700. You all should definitely stick with core buyers instead of scrap yards, as they will rip you off.

    What's the value of the catalytic converter on my 2001 Ford F-150 with a 4.6L engine?

  • Mamie D.

    Stocks for catalytic converters have dropped across the board. They were about $740 each for both pre-cat and cat, totaling nearly $1,500 for a set of four on the 1999 and 2001 5.4L 2-valve models. For models from 2004 onwards, it's around $650 for a set of two. I recommend holding off for now because rhodium has fallen from nearly $18,000 to $11,500, and palladium from $2,100 to $825, decreasing by $1,500 over the weekend. If rhodium rebounds to $14,000-$16,000 and platinum and palladium stay above $1,700, it could be a good time to sell. Keep an eye on the stock market for daily updates. Good luck.
