Well, my truck is just too loud for my tastes. It’s a small open flow muffler, so it doesn’t change the sound much, just makes it a little quieter.So far I like the sound of my idi straight piped. But I know under a load that could change. Why did you put a muffler on?
One day when I grow up, I'm gonna have a tailgate just like that one...... except mines gonna be ugly tan....I fixed my dented tailgate over the weekend, also fixed the rust bubbles on it while I was in body work mode.

Hi Goat! Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty sure that the IP isn't the problem. The pump is still a relatively fresh baby moose from Mel at Conestoga. It dies when it starts to come up to temp, no where near what I'd consider hot. It started doing it the same day the blow by started. I failed to mention that the exhaust smoke increased as well. I'm not going to sell it for a song. Engine tear down or not, it's an awesome IDI and I'm positive that I'll regret selling it.Shame you need to see your truck, Probably needs new IP with it hard to start hot etc...
just read through your first page of your project thread. You put some work into it.
Hate to see anyone sell their IDI truck, then later egret selling it....dang, should have never sold it.

I appreciate your openness to post that weld. Did you also tig that first picture?Got my exhaust all together.

Definitely a lot more room in there now. Wish the flange wasn't so sharp, but it's not like my hand will be in there regularly.
Also, I shouldn't be allowed to weld.
My tig welder ran out of gas, so looks like poo but it's holding... For now. I hate welding upside down.

No I purchased the flange and down pipe from CDD, they were the only ones who could have it out fast enough for my timeframe I'm working with.I appreciate your openness to post that weld. Did you also tig that first picture?
I didnt include it in the photo, but it has stabilizer chains with turnbuckles to tension them to keep it straight. Its rated for 6000 lbs trailer/600lbs tongue weightI guess that hitch extension is ok, just never thought they were all that safe.
Looks like it should have a wheel under it for support.
