i was considering getting stacks on my truck and was just about to buy them when i realized that all that exaust was probably just being dumped all over the livestock that might be on the gooseneck.. is that just me being over cautious? any recomendations?

 

people often pay extra for smoked meat.

 

THink about Hay too.

Few years back a class 8 truck blew a turbo and caught a load of hay on fire real close to my home. The fire was so hot that it twisted the frame.

I dont have stacks or know anyone so i dont really know the probability of it but just a thought.

Hope it helps

The factory exhaust blows in the side of the trailer. I don't think it would make much of a differance if you put a stack on.

 

The right height and design stack would put LESS exhaust in your trailer.

 

I agree if you do it right then very little will blow in

 

yup. If you have mitre cuts...It will be blowing straight up, and your trailer will pass under it.

 

i haul cattle regularly and have stacks. i have a cutout underneith with 2 valves so i can switch between stacks and the stock exhaust. this makes it rly nice on long trips so theres no drone

i have 36in high 7in ausssie stacks and they angle out enough that the smoke goes out and around the trailer so i could haul like this but usually defer to the stock for highway because its quieter.

hope this helps. its what i do and works for me

 

I have been thinking about doing a stack and keeping the stock exhaust using a electric cutout.
Your the first that I have heard that has done it.

 

so do yall think that bullhaulers would do a good job of keeping the cattle "clean"? i really want to put the stacks just as high as the cab, i dont really like the higher stacks

 

if you mean the top of the tip at the top of the cab i think that might be a little low to clear. if you mean the bend at the top slightly below the top of the cab you will be fine. thats where it is with mine and it gets it out and away... the bullhaulers would probly shoot it out further tho.

also what dementions is the trailer your gonna be haulin?


this is what i did and it is enough to get the smoke away dont know if that helps at all

 

we have two trailors, a 32x7.5 alluminum tralor and a 24x6

 

LIVESTOCK are the reason for stacks in the first place.

Although it is not often enforced, it was and probably still is, a federal law that all truck/tractors pulling livestock in trailers shall have the exhaust exiting high and to the sides, in an effort to prevent the noxious fumes coming in on the stock.

Look at what is on the real bull-haulers; they put the smoke way up and to the sides.

A standard pick-up exhaust puts the fumes out down low, where they can be drawn into the trailer, thus making things very unpleasant for the stock inside.

Race-horse trainers who are a little quicker-witted than the average bear will really tune in on this, as a horse that arrives at a track with his lungs full of soot is not gonna be at his best.



Take a ride in a standard gooseneck stock-trailer behind a truck WITHOUT stacks, then ride the same trailer behind a truck that has PROPER stacks (not those stubby cab-high play-kid smokers), and smell the difference for yourself.

 

Can you please post pics, plus the source for the valves?

thanks

 

sure will. i'll snap some pics of the setup underneith as soon as i can for ya
