The A/F sensor should be more or less a flat line except under heavy accel/deccel. The second O2 sensor should be reading fairly low voltage so I would have to say that either the converter is bad or you have something causing the downstream to show a rich condition.
Contact URD on the pinout for their O2 sim because I remember someone else had a similar problem a while back and Brian got them what they needed.

I personally would try a little harder to get the URD O2 sim to work also.

No, unfortunately every attempt I have seen to find a replacement for the OEM cats have failed. I have never seen anyone run dual high flow aftermarket cats as a replacement so if you wanted to try something, that's where I'd start. All the companies you find on the net selling aftermarket OEM replacements are complete junk.

I'm curious to find why the CATs failed at such a young age - or at least I think it is young (115,000). The truck has been pampered it's whole life. Always maintained - almost obsessively by myself.

Mike does that on his 3.4 conversions:

I have 2 questions for you (since those were on a transplanted 3.4L):
1) Were those used on a Cali spec'd 4runner setup (ie 99-00 cali spec or any 01-02 motor/ecu combo)?
2) Was it successful in preventing the P0420 code?

After changing my plugs today, which is - by the way - a fun 1 hour exercise on this truck, I was going through all of my maintenance/repair records for this truck. One thing I had forgot about was that I would add BG 44K to my tank for a couple of years - every 6 months or so. I haven't done it in about a year b/c the place I bought it from no longer sells it. I started wondering - is this stuff OK to use? Could it have contributed to the failure of my CATs?
By the way, my plugs looked fine. A little bit of wear but NO fuel or oil on them. They were NGK. I used Denso this time.

I just ordered my sensor. I am going to run a few cans of sea foam through may gas before I change it and spray the old one down with pb blaster. so it can soak for a week or so.
