Why replace the CAT at all? It should last far longer than 5 years, and
longer than 10 years. I have an '81 Jeep with the stock CAT, and my '94 BMW
has the factory CAT as well. I also have a '93 Mazda with the stock CAT, and
my '97 F150 has the original CAT. I had an '89 motorhome on a Ford E350
chassis, and the CAT was the original one.
You could need a new CAT, but I doubt it. My limited experience is that your
CAT should last several more years.

This is easy enough to figure out. Go to a major autoparts store online and
plug in both cars and search the brake parts for them. If the part numbers
come up the same, they are interchangable, if not then you are out of luck.
