Default Code P0430

Pulled a P0430 off the OBD port which is a "catalyst Efficiency below threshold (bank 2)". Does this mean that my cat is shot? That's my guess. Help!

sounds like o2, have you done any work to the truck recently, and after you clear the code does drivability change?

could be a hole in the exhaust too.
If your gas has changed formulas drastically recently, detach the battery and let the system drain of power for a good half hour or longer. It'll reset your computer and sensors.

I had to do that with my truck when I came back to florida from Nebraska. I was getting crappy gas milage until I did. Now I'm back to normal. For me it was going from 15+% ethenol and high altitude to e10- and low altitude. still a simple thing to try before spending money.
