Hello all, new member and recent owner of a 2020 F350 DRW Platinum (retiring soon and headed to full-time RVer status). This is my first diesel, and my question is this: do diesel engines have catalytic converters of the type that is attractive to thieves? I've read so much about this theft and am wondering how worried to be and what kind of mitigation is possible. The truck is too long to fit into the garage. Thanks in advance.

 

I believe the theft of converters used on gasoline engines was mainly to sell the precious metals inside.

Diesel "Converters" are a completely different animal in that they use heat and fuel to burn off accumulated carbon and add a chemical (DEF = Diesel Exhaust Fluid) to clean up the rest. PLUS,,,,,,,they are too difficult to get off !!
