I have to replace the catalytic converters on my vehicle. I was told there are three of them. I'm trying to purchase them online, but I’m confused on which ones to get. I see its radiator side, drivers' side, front rear, rear etc. I'm just confused on which three I’m supposed to get. Hopefully, you guys can help me out. Thank you.

Here is a parts diagram that should help you out. The 5F250, highlighted in yellow is the front or left catalytic converter. The 5E212A, highlighted in green is the rear or right side converter. The other part in yellow is what we used to call the downstream cat, 5E212B. I would also recommend replacing the available hardware and gaskets.
