The 04-09 Prius has two short, round cats, followed by that big resonator. The front pipe on those cars is a "double stick" with a GD3 and an EA6, and they're worth well over $200 for the pair. Newer...

The Toyota unit looks more like a resonator. Does it have a honeycomb core inside?
Any markings or numbers on the long one? It resembles a large Saab, but I have never seen one with the hanger brackets like that. The other one is a standard Jeep, $65-70 range.
All the best to you, Mike. Being in business for myself, I have learned from and been inspired by your experiences that you have shared with us.
My granddad is going on 71, and still working every...
Both of my yards that I sell iron to are small, independent feeder yards. Same thing- The usually-massive piles of iron and shred are GONE. It looks quite strange. I'm friends with both owners. Both...
I've used GoDaddy for about two years. A bit more $ than some of the other options, but it's been reliable and you can do a lot with it.
Municipal/road crew trucks can sometimes be had for a good price, but... Just like farm trucks, check them over very carefully, especially up here in the North. By the time they're ten years old, our...
Congratulations, nice-looking truck. My first one (many years ago) was a $500 '73 Dodge half ton. You'll be surprised at what that half ton can do if you need it to. You'll be much better off than...
Welcome, from another Central PA member.
My forum name is simply the name of my company. It was the first idea that came to mind for a screen name, so I went with it. I belong to a few non-metal related forums, and have a different screen...
Whole vehicle batteries .27/lb. Down from .34 2-3 weeks ago. I made $1.92 profit on my last load of batteries. Better than losing, but definitely my hardest-earned two bucks in recent memory!
Very first rule on the list... It's a worthwhile investment, cheap, and also helps keep the forum around for all of us to enjoy and benefit from.

I rarely play the lottery, thanks to my inner cheapskate :) I do occasionally take a stab at it. Someone always eventually wins, and the only way to guarantee it won't be you is to not play.

If the converter has a lot of rust, the number may be gone. It happens a lot up here in the Northern states because of the road salt in the winters. I get the numbers from almost all of my Breadloaf...
If you clean up the crimped corners of the heat shield with a wire brush, you may be able to find the number. There will be a number on two of the corners, the one with eight digits is the one you...
4-Dot, worth anywhere from $45 to $140. If the heat shield is still there on the other side, there will be an 8-digit number on one of its corners. With the number, I can give you an exact value. If...
Congrats, Sledge! I enjoyed your thread a lot. I'm all about getting every little stinking ounce of metal that there is to be had. You nailed that (slight, silly pun intended) :cool:
Thanks to...
Thank you to all members who have done business with us, we appreciate it!
There are many ordinary-looking converters that we pay very high prices on. It is not unusual for us to get GM Breadloaf...
I've heard good things about the new Ford 5.0 and the EcoBoost V6. Scrapping those abhorrent Triton engines of 1997-2010 was a much-needed move by Ford. If you ask me, every Triton ever built should...
I've always had Dodge trucks, ranging from a 1967 W200 Power Wagon (BEAST) to my current 2011 Ram 2500 HD diesel. They've all seen hard use, and I've never had a major problem or expense. Basic stuff...
Short iron back up to $200/ton here. That would put shred around $160-170, I believe. I only had a small, mixed load of short, but was pleasantly surprised at the price. There are two yards out of...
I've owned several 90s and 2000s Volkswagens. Yes, those "half-jacks" are JUNK. I only ever had to use one of them once in one of my Jettas, and I hated the thing. The jack actually started to bend...

My Mom thought about naming me Michael, so I was almost a Mike :)
A 2004 Explorer should have three converters. The two smaller, round cats grade Medium Domestic ($40-50 each), followed by a Regular Domestic main cat ($50-60). The front cats are only 3/4 full, but...
Ahh, GM and that good old double-wall pipe. Nasty stuff.
Shaun, some of my yard guys do the Caravans the same way- Rip out the floor! Hey, it's junk anyway..And sometimes it's just fun to destroy...
