Just started installing this stack tonight. I wanted to no what you guys thought? It is just temperary will i get 4 inch downpipe. And the torch hoses are just holding it up i still have to finis it in the morning....

 

Looks good!
That is what I plan on doing when I get a free moment.
Can you get some pics of how you cut the hole in the bed and the plumbing under the bed?
Thanks
Curtis

 

YA ill do that now its not done but a start just to let you no

 

Here is what i have done so far its now all the way welded on some part.. When i finish i post pics of it done. And its just temp. till i have 4" d.p the im doing dual 5" stack painted black








And the whole. It was a comcrete pumpers truck so the dirt is stuck im still working on getting it out.

 

I wanted to run it like that, outside the frame, but didn't have enough bends. Then I got to thinking that with dual stacks, all the smoke might go out the pass. side stack. So I went straight up from the factory exhaust spot.

If your rig is very nice, this might not be how to do it. You have to cut some stuff. The pipe is going to go right where a support for the bed floor is. "A" in photo. Also, you are gonna have to make big notch on the fuel tank crossmember, "B", that can be reinforcenced after. I haven't got to that part yet.

 

just finished a little bit ago installing it post vid in a few minuts

 

 

looks good. man i wish i lived in a non-salt state. your truck's underbody looks so clean compared to mine. and your has twice as many miles as mine.

 

Im pretty amazed about the body to it was a concrete pumpers truck lol there is prob. two quarter sized dents on the whole thing

 

Thats exactly how I did it on my old plow truck I sold. I put the smaller pipe up through the bed and slid it up a couple of feet inside the 5 inch stack. That allowed the stack to get some fresh air in it also and you could put your hands on the bottom foot of the stack at all times. No fires in the bed with stuff flying around. I was afraid of leaves and stuff burning up the truck.

 

I am in the process of putting a stack on mine as well,Ive got the hole cut ,I just need to pick up some stuff from fleet supply tommorow.I was wondering about whether to run the pipe under the frame or between the frame and body.

 

Mine is under the frame but its also a 2wd so im not going to be offroading

 

Will the 3200 gov spring make it a little better than how it is and how much more smoke willl there be if i take and afc lever out

 

if you want to see what it will be like for smoke take the afc spring out

 

If i do that it will do the same thing? And i was wondering why does it shift so slow
