My continuing saga of vehicle woes continues. Tuesday night on my way to work, my truck was louder than ever. I didn't really do much more at the moment that use some colorful language. The Wednesday morning on my way home, I noticed I was getting exhaust fumes inside the cab. I did a quick check and noticed that a flange bolt was missing on the passenger side exhaust pipe. I called a friend of mine on my way to work Wednesday night to see if he had a spare. He came over and looked at the truck, the bolt isn't missing, it's broken. We tried working on it in 26 degrees. So now, I have to try and remove the broken bolt, as well as the two others that are all rusted and on the verge of breaking. If they do break and I am unable to remove them by hand, I have to remove the exhaust manifold, drill out the old bolts and then tap the holes. I have to do this in 20 some odd degree weather, not happy.

Seig, just do the redneck fix on it and get some steel putty from advance auto. Once you work that stuff and it sets (about 24 hours) you can drill it, file it or what ever bit it works about the same as wood putty on wood. Save ya from having to worry about all that extra work. :uhyeah:

I did fix the one side of the exhaust, what a pain in the *** that turned out to be. When I removed the exhaust, the other two flange bolts broke. This meant I had to remove the manifold. One of the manifold bolts had a stripped head. Then I had to remove the broken studs from the flange. I wound up having to cut them off with a sawsall. Drilling them out was a treat, to say the least. I tried tapping new grooves, but the tap wouldn't cut. I wound up getting creative with straight stainless 1/4 inch bolts. It was a headache. I still have to replace the muffler on the other side, it looks like a handgrenade went off in it.
