Is that factory? Wow... Worse than a 4.0 jeep downpipe.

Yeah that's factory.... Looks like someone stepped in the middle of a Calzone. Yours looks like they threw it into a rock pile and turned it a couple times.... That's bad! I thought ours was bad!

It just reinforces getting the system replaced before hauling a trailer in november over the I-15 and two mountain passes. At 75 unloaded on the freeway egt's shot up and it smoked white some. I imagine it would be far worse pulling a 32' trailer over cajon/summit passes.

Oddly also, sometimes you would romp on it to get the load going, and it would pour (some, not a big plume) black smoke. Other times in the same area, it would puff white smoke. Everything i've seen indicates leaky injectors... so time to replace em!

It got up to 55 degrees today(cant remember when we seen that) so I washed out the salt and road sand from the winter. The neighbors think I'm nuts. An hour laying on the ground watering my truck.

I always wanted to take an old lift and put it on a pad outside for doing stuff like that but who has an extra 1500-2k laying around just to make it easier to was vehicles lol

It's been raining for a couple weeks and a friend needed his 10k toy hauler moved to his new house... And parked in the grass... That had just been torn up earlier last year... Did I mention it's been raining for awhile?

We spent about 3 hours getting it out of his old property(Again, parked in the grass) onto the edge of his new property- I say edge because he wanted it over by the shop and I said HELL NO I'm not getting stuck again.

It's really sad when you have "Four wheel drive" and yet you can watch the opposing corner tires spin in the mud.

It's even worst when your stuck in your 4wd diesel and people in cars are driving around you! I had it happen on the beach in Daytona Beach Fl. Really embarrassing. LOL
