AT 1047 MILES, MY NEW 2007, DODGE 3500, DIESEL 4X4 TRUCKS CATALYTIC CONVERTER SHOWED 100% FULL. I WAS 75 MILES FROM THE NEAREST PAVED HIGHWAY,(AKA AS THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!) AND COULD ONLY DRIVE 5-15 MPH DUE TO EXTREMELY BAD ROAD CONDITIONS. UPON CONTACTING A SERVICE TECH AT MY DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THE ONLY WAY TO GET BACK WOULD BE TO UNBOLT THE CONVERTER. I DID & WAS NEARLY "GASSED" TO DEATH BY THE FUMES. I EXPERIENCED A HEADACHE AND BURNING EYES FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER. THE DEALER HAS NOW RE-ATTACHED THE CONVERTOR, BUT NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE "PLUGGING" PROBLEM OF THIS CONVERTOR. HENCE, IT WILL OCCUR AGAIN. *JB
