The elementary catalytic converter on the 1988 Chevy K2500 was a Apartment lodgings, Wide, pellet-filled Element. Chevy used this style converter until the mid 1990s. The backside of the converter featured a fill plug that would regularly erode from exposure and leak the ceramic pellets absent from inside the shell. While replacement plugs were available, most aftermarket companies replaced the converter with a canister-shaped direct-fit converter with an internal ceramic honeycombed substructure.
