Anyone know where I can find the exact info for this federal emissions warranty that everyone in here is talking about? I have a '97 and the Cat is foobed AGAIN and they say that it's not covered by warranty so I have to pay the outrageous price to replace it. Thanks in advance.

Emissions warranties are good for 80,000 miles, how many miles do you have? I just got a free one on my 95 with 68,000 miles.

Bill,
Be carfull here... Depending on the year that your vehicle was manufactured, the federal emmissins warantee may be 5/50K , 8/80K or 10/100K
I KNOW that my 2000 Dak has the 10/100K.
To answer the original question... please refer to the documentation in your glovebox that came with the truck. BY LAW all of the information must be in there when you purchace the vehicle.

Straight from Daimler:
MOPAR REPLACEMENT CATALYTIC CONVERTER 3-YEAR/25,000-MILE LIMITED WARRANTY
I. What Is warranted
MOPAR replacement Catalytic Converters are warranted against defects in materials or workmanship for 3 years or 25,000 miles from the date of installation, whichever comes first. The external converter shell and end bushings are warranted against defects in materials or workmanship for 5 years or 50,000 miles from the date of installation, whichever comes first. IMPORTANT: These catalytic converters are not certified for use as replacements where the vehicle is still covered by the New Vehicle Emissions Warranty. They can only be used after the emissions warranty has expired.
II. How To Obtain MOPAR Warranty Service
Where both parts and labor are covered warranty items, repairs will be made by any Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge or Jeep® dealer at no charge using new or remanufactured components. Where parts only are covered, any Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge or Jeep dealer will provide replacement parts at no charge. It is recommended that you take your Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge or Jeep vehicle to your selling dealer or to the dealer who sold or installed your MOPAR part or accessory. However, you may obtain replacement parts or service under warranty from any authorized Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge or Jeep dealer. Except in an emergency, warranty service for MOPAR Parts and Accessories may be obtained ONLY at an authorized Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge or Jeep dealer.
III. What Is Not Covered
MOPAR warranties do not cover any non-DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation or non-MOPAR parts, components or equipment, such as a non-MOPAR radio or speed control. These warranties also do not cover the costs of any repairs or adjustments that might be caused by or needed because of the use or installation of non-DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation or non-MOPAR parts, equipment, materials or additives.
MOPAR warranties do not cover the costs of repairing damage or conditions caused by fire or accident; by abuse, negligence, or misuse (for example, driving over curbs, or overloading or racing the vehicle); by improper adjustment, alteration or failure to maintain the vehicle on which they are installed; or corrosion or damage caused by the use of caustic materials.
MOPAR Limited Warranties do not cover parts installed on a vehicle used for racing or competition, nor do they cover the repair of any damage or conditions caused by racing or competition.
MOPAR Limited Warranties do not cover the costs of repairing or replacing any part due to damage caused by poor or improper maintenance, contaminated fuels, or the use of fuels, oils, lubricants or fluids of a type other than those recommended in your Owner's Manual.
MOPAR warranties do not cover the costs of repairing damage caused by environmental factors or Acts of God. "Environmental factors" include such items as airborne fallout, chemicals, tree sap, salt, ocean spray and road hazards. "Acts of God" include such things as hail, floods, windstorms, lightning, tornadoes, sandstorms and earthquakes.
MOPAR warranties do not apply to parts installed on a vehicle which has had its odometer or emissions systems tampered with or disconnected; or which has been declared to be a total loss by any insurance company, or is rebuilt after being declared to be a total loss; or is issued a certificate of title indicating that it is designated as "salvage," "junk," "rebuilt" or words of similar import.
DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation will deny warranty coverage without notice if it finds that a vehicle is ineligible for warranty coverage because it has been salvaged or declared a total loss as set forth in the above paragraph.
MOPAR Limited Warranties do NOT cover any incidental or consequential damages connected with the failure of the part under warranty. Such damages include lost time; inconvenience; the loss of the use of your vehicle; the cost of rental cars, gasoline, telephone, travel or lodging; the loss of personal or commercial property; or the loss of revenue. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
Your warranties can also be restricted by DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation, as set forth in the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. If your new vehicle limited warranty is restricted by DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation, coverage under your MOPAR Parts and Accessories Limited Warranties may also be restricted or denied.
IV. Other Terms
a. To the extent allowed by law, any implied warranties, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, are limited in duration to the duration of these express warranties. To the extent allowed by law, if the parts are installed on a vehicle used primarily for business or commercial purposes, no implied warranties apply. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
b. These warranties are the only express warranties made by DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation for MOPAR Parts and Accessories. Except where prohibited by law, this warranty is the sole and exclusive remedy.
c. NO person, including a dealer or employee of DaimlerChrysler Corporation or DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation, has the authority to vary or change these warranties. d. Michigan law governs this warranty to the extent allowed by law. Interpretation of the terms of this warranty must be done using Michigan law.
e. These Limited Warranties give you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
