My views are quite mainstream by local standards... but obviously jarring
to many on this list (and vice versa). I much prefer to tackle problems of
mutual concern we can work on solving together.

Really depends on just what you intend it for. If you want to haul a lot of
weight get a Ford or Dodge 3/4 or one ton. They do that best. If you want
someting that will haul household items, ride nice and get decent mpg then
look at a Chevy 1/2 ton with either the 4.3 or 350 if you want more
How true.

Interesting EPA ratings.

So unbolting the '83 exhaust at the flange worked well, the 2 bolts broke
nicely and it all came out. However I still couldn't get the front pipe
detached from the rest and I ended up cutting the first couple inches of the
front exhaust pipe. A quick trip to FLAPS got me a 2 exhaust pipe
partial to Diesels, but have been scared off by all the injector pump
issues
with the US made engines - why didn't they use nice in-line Bosch
pumps?
96-98.5 Dodge then, it uses the P7100 inline pump.
My 1975 Dodge 1/2 ton was quite reliable. Would always
start no matter how long it had sat.
Its too late for this advice, but in the past I was able to break and
exhaust system free from the manifold by dropping it down off of all the
rubber hangers and swinging it side to side a bit from the end at the back
of the car. The torque on that length of pipe is huge.
Just don't go too
While the dump bed might be nice once in a while, I think a pickup bed will

Got the exhaust into my '78 240D, reused all 4 rubber donuts, they were in
really good shape, first time I've ever seen such a thing. I'll throw one of my
spares in the trunk for the inevitable failure.
Had to cut down the pipe on the car a little, my new adapter didn't fit over it

Thanks, good to know. I used my #14 head as a stand to hold the camshaft from
the #17, cleaned off the corrosion using PB Blaster and a brass brush. It
cleaned up nicely, so I'll use it when I install the #17 head. I'll keep all
the lifters from the #14 head (and the camshaft) just in case.
The malaise era was especially hard on Dodge pickups. My '96 Dakota w/318 had
buckets of power, I think it was rate ~200hp.
When I was in jr high a friend's parents bought a Dodge pickup, it'd have been
around '88, figure a year or two either way. 2wd, 4spd manual, rubber floor
mat, vinyl
Tried that, didn't work on either exhaust...
On the trashed one I cut grooves in the pipe and peeled it like a banana. Then
drove the remnant off with a screwdriver and BFH. Oh what fun!

Oh man. Each time I do an exhaust system, I say I'm never going to do it
again and I'd rather just pay someone. But somehow, I just keep doing them.

So it seems this is one that could have the rust issues... what I read
about this is that you can't really tell if there is a rust problem
without scraping off the body panel sealant that's used over the welds.
Is the problem common enough to warrant doing that?
