Awesome, Bl. People don't realize how much stress is on the supports for the exhaust systems on the bigger trucks. I'm wondering WHO found the supports breaking down like that....DOT ??

Working on old semis is rarely fun, seems like half of em are held together by rust alone. Especially up here in my area

Had a trucker up here having issues with something HEAVY banging around. One mechanic told him it was the king pins. Had me take it for a drive....found front cab mounts worn out and I mean OUT. Give you something else to look forward to. Enjoy your posts. keep 'em coming....everyone. And y'all stay safe.
