Maybe it will just go away. Mine threw that code a couple weeks ago. After a few days of normal driving it just went away, or my light went out! Lol. It hasn’t been back.

Get a Magnaflow from O'Reilly for about $350.  Dealer wants $800 for the factory one.  Make sure you get the new O2 sensor also.  I didn't and I had to order one this weekend.  I'm 60 days past due on my smog cert.  Pay your fees to stay current until the parts come in.

Twas a no go.  Check engine came back with P0430.
I was all excited.  When I left work tonight, the light was off because I had cleared it earlier. Emissions Readiness was complete and everything. 
But, it came back within about 7 miles.  Wah wah

Woody, any additional info on the cat and o2 censor?
Which o2 sensor did you go with?  Prices are kind of all over the place.

I ended up paying for the Denso. I hope to install it tonight.  I'll let you know of that solves the problem.

Honestly I would not go with any aftermarket cat, they have terrible reviews from people saying that they do not last.  OEM is worth the cost IMO.

Tim, any developments in your saga?

Unfortunately after replaceing the bank 2 cat (P0430) and O2 sensor I got the P0420 code and a P1283 code.  SO I've now orderd a new Bank 1 cat and )2 sensor and did a thurough cleaning of the MAP sensor.  I'm in Kansas City for a few days so I have my son driving the truck to see if the codes reappear.  Next weekend will be spent replacing the cat, O2 sensor and the  front brakes.  I'm so lucky!

That's a bummer, Tim!

I have mixed news.  More good than bad.
Over the weekend, I drove down to Jordan's house for some truck fiddlin'.
We (Jordan) decided to start simple.  Originally, I had a P0101, MAF, code.  That then went away and I got the P0430.
We added some silicone to the gasket where the MAF seals to the intake tube.
I drove back to Orange County from San Diego with NO engine codes!  WOOOO.
First thing this morning, I headed over to the smog place and PASSED!!!!!!!!

1.5 miles later, I got the P0101 fault code.  So, now I have two years to figure that one out.
