Alright heres the pics, if you can see them alright. I painted the pipe black to help prevent rust. Next time ill buy stainless if I can find it. Bare with me on the rookie experience with the pics. The 2 pics in the cab were taken driving down the highway-everything normal no codes on day 3.

 

The following links to videos I found on youtube.com. Pretty interesting. They strongly urge you not to "tinker" with the pollution control equipment.

How did you know where to put the probes or did you just put them in where ever you wanted.

 

I know, seen em, read about em, listened to em. Do you always do what your told? Whats it matter anyway? I got the old exhaust in case it needs to be reinstalled, and besides it performs a hell of alot better now. And it is not shooting outcodes like "THEY" said it would.

 

The probes are measured to the same spots as the old ones.

 

Off subject but is your grill stock? Nice truck.

 

yep, grill is stock.

 

AWESOME job Medic !!

Thanks for posting the pics. Perhaps we can have this tacked up top in the DIY thread? Whadda ya think Mods?

 

Firemedic,

What kind of mpg are you getting after doing this? (City,Hwy) Are you having issues with regenerations or is the truck still having regen cycles. Usually I get about 4 regens to the tank. That sucks big time, now $4.05 gallon diesel in Houston.

 

I havent' figured out the mpg's yet, im still enjoying the blowing black smoke thing. The overhead is at 14.5, but when I had the catalyst full lite on, the overhead dropped to 12.5- slowly going back up. And yes it is still experiencing regen cycles- supposedly I can have them shut off at the dealer somehow, but I got a tech friend at the dealer who is on vac till next week-hopefully he can take care of it.
