I need to replace a catalytic converter. Suggestions

Ok, so I'm not a certified ASE mechanic, but this sounds like an open loop vs. a closed loop situation with the O2's?? I could be completely wrong, but when your system goes into closed loop after running for a short time, your down stream 02's are telling you that your cats are bad with the fluctuating voltages. I'm not sure if voltage readings from 02's vary between open loop and closed loop? I haven't researched this. I guess if I was ASE patched, I would already know this...
I need to maybe read back on this thread, but didn't you write this engine is burning a quart of oil every thousand miles? If that's the case, your cats are probably toast....MO

I also crawled under the truck yesterday while it ws running. Using my infrared laser temp gun,....I could see that the exhaust pipe temps just behind the cats was just about the same as the temp of the pipe just before the cat. Seems like it would be hotter after the cats if they were working.

I bought a cat assy from Atlantic British for my D1 years ago on Sale for $600.
It works great.
Assuming they have a different one for the D2 but basically the same.
Here is my D1 writeup

Will apply mostly to the D2 also.
I had a D2 with a bad head gaskets and lucky this did not affect my cats.
If your cats are bad, make sure that you are not getting antifreeze into them from bad
head gaskets or bad valley gasket sucking antifreeze into a cylinder.
