Well it been a long Summer, and trying to get another rig and trailer on the road for the tractor, I finely got the headers on, pipes up and new front brakes and bearings.
I welded the whole exhaust system, and used the OEM hangers. If I need to get to something, I can drop the whole system from the headers back by un-bolting the mounting u-bolts.
Took it out for a spin tonight, and what a difference in the pick up and the wife likes the great sound as well.
Have nice SS exhaust tips to dress it up a bit.
Still working on the transmission heat problem. Think the temp gage is no telling me the truth. My infrared says its at 145 deg. and the temp gage says 210 deg.! I have put on a Permacool 30,000 lbs cooler 10 1/2" x 19" and have run Airoquip -8 size lines from the trans to the cooler. A work in progress.
Any way here is some shots of the new exhaust system. |
