My truck is a tractor and it has the mushroom one :shrugs:

Looks great :)

It's a very cool find dude.. Congrats :beer:

:goodjob: So why did it need to be replaced? Just low tread, or was there a defect of some kind?

Yeah I have that one too.. Took a look at it earlier. Before I saw his pic for comparison I had no idea there were different versions. I'm sure I saw both versions when I was looking at trucks to buy back in July, but I wasn't paying enough attention to notice the difference.

Well.. They weren't cheap. $325 each with free shipping, so $650 for the pair. By comparison, the unheated headlights are $330ish for the pair. Just went out and switched them on in the dark.. One word to describe these lights: AWESOME. Excellent clarity and brightness. The Hella H4 upgrade...

Received and installed my new heated Truck Lite LED headlights 8-) Can't wait to see what they look like after it gets dark out :) Also painted my new muffler from Floridianson with high temp black grille paint. Went a bit overboard and did like 6 coats. Looks sweet. Also pulled off my top pipe...

Thanks guys :)

There are different versions?

Neat :) I'm glad someone reopened this thread, because I never would have seen it otherwise.

Also, should I replace the clamps, or should I just reuse the old ones?

I'm 6' and 185lbs so I'm fairly skinny.. shouldn't be an issue :) Who did you finally end up getting the proper gasket(s) from? (not sure who "Erik" is..) I received my new muffler today :naner: Can't wait to paint it with the high temp barbecue paint, and get it installed :)

lol.. Nice :) I was able to find all of the hoses on eBay in generic form.. Most were from the same seller. 4 ply silicone 500 degree resistant. Upper and lower hump hoses, overflow hoses, heater core lines, etc. The only one that I couldn't find was the 90 degree bend hose. I found plenty of...

How much of a pain was it to replace the muffler? Did you have to get the torch out to break the bolts loose? I just ordered one from Floridianson (thanks again) because I found some quarter sized holes facing the spare tire, and I am wondering what I am in for..

Don't fire departments run the trucks to keep them ready to go? Every time I have done work in a fire department I've seen rather large exhaust hoses that allow them to run the trucks indoors.. I never actually asked anyone about them.

Hmm.. That's unusual. From what I have been hearing on here the common fix is to smack the drums with a sledge. They are supposed to free up at that point.

:ditto: If the clamps are on tight, I can't see how it could leak without some kind of problem.. Both hoses are rubber and have a cracked appearance on the outside. I'm thinking it has more to do with the old rubber failing.

Looks good dude :goodjob:

I'm considering replacing all of my coolant hoses when I drain the coolant to replace it and install my block heater. They don't look bad at all, but if the price isn't too ridiculous I might just do them. However, a search online finds a seller here that carries this hose, a seller there that...

lol
