Re: truck keeps blowing out donut gaskets
OK OK OK.....I'm sorry <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> did any of the suggestions lead to anything yet? Is there a burr or rock that got mashed in the flange face?

I wouldn't consider you a troll. All love in fear and war. Just had to have some fun though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Re: truck keeps blowing out donut gaskets
Yeah I checked them on the last set.. I was also real careful to tighten then all even. i never had this problem and anything else i drove before. I guess I need to go and throwthe headers on. I have to watch my mouth if I am going to be the next Truck forum director. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: truck keeps blowing out donut gaskets
What kind of headers? I have shorties right now, but I am looking around for a mid or long tube setup right now. Depends on how nice Uncle Sam is to me next month. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: truck keeps blowing out donut gaskets
i am thinking about bassani straigt down then magnaflow race muffler and a turn down for heat reasons. I will make this system as short as possible. In arkansas we dont have to get our rides inspected so bye bye cats all together.

Re: truck keeps blowing out donut gaskets
Why would you put race mufflers on something that isn't fast? You might as well put a 5" tip on the end also... <img border="0" alt="[gruffy cottonball]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_gruffy.gif" />
