Guys I have a pretty good exhaust leak going on. While
it looks fairly straight forward in repair procedures I wanted
to ask a couple of q's perhaps of those whom have been
there done that before me.
The Magenta colored arrow points to the area where I have
a leak. It is from here back where it looks like this truck received
some work from a less than professional in the recent past
evidenced by the different colored parts.
Am I going to be smarter if I remove the whole shootin'
match starting with the exhaust outlet stack on top vs
trying to section in this pipe section alone?
It just looks like I might be wiser to pull it all, inspect
inlets and outlets for cracks and rebuild "fitting" each
joint tight and snug as I go vs trying to section it together
and expect a seal, which is what I think happened.
I see I need new exhaust gaskets, will the clamps come
undone and are they reuseable or better to get new clamps
too?
Any other suggestions?
