Any of you gone to see this guy? Just stopped in there yesterday and he had a 60 and 80 series that he was working on. The 80 was a red '92. He said just last week he had 6 cruisers in there all at once.
The mechanic I take my rig to used raptor liner on the bottom half of his 60 series. looks great and holds up fine. He found a kit, which includes the spray gun and 2 gallon containers of liner and anything else that might be needed--such as an aerosol can, for $98. Here before long he's offered...
sounds like a different vibration, but the exhaust has hangers on them that can get shredded and cause vibrations, particularly while engine on but stopped. If not fixed exhaust replacement is in the future. FWIW
The brown on the pipes is mostly caked mud. Exhaust mechanic said the pipes were strong and would probably last. sound like he's full of s*** or could that be the case if that red/brown is just caked mud?
Thanks for your unfiltered insight Ebag! The realness of your posts is what I always appreciate! You think sloppy welds will hold up less/be weaker.. or just ugly?

So the clean steel you see in pic was done at an exhaust shop in Coeur D'Alene, Id. $240 out the door. I've owned the rig since January and it is quieter now than its been since I've owned it.

Got a shop now putting a new pipe in to replace the break for $200-240. He said it was not going to go all the way up to manifold. I'm curious how much yall with experience would say a new exhaust from manifold to cats (first cat?!) would be or even all the way back to muffler if necessary. Saw...
Reset p0170 code. had to drive about 200 miles today for work. here's a pic of the exhaust break.
got a new cel p0125. Reset it and it kept coming on p0125
I'm thinking of getting some flex pipe and clasping it on there. Anyone had a break like this? could this be caused by mud in my cat...
Seeing as how the shortened exhaust is not opening onto anything is there any harm in driving it like this? I drive all over for work in my rig and have many appointments over 70 miles from home tomorrow.
I got a p0420 last week while cruise control on at about 60 mph for 20 miles or so. Looked it up on here. reset it. didn't get it again. Today I was on a trail coming back down the mountain. Hear what sounded like pop corn popping from cat converter area. Then some nice bumps and rig sounds like...
