So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Installation Of Aftermarket Exhaust Into Dodge 6.7 Cummins L Engine

By Cynthia Allen


The L series engines are types of straight six diesel engines. The design and the production of these were made by Cummins. The displacement of this engines is 10 liters. The first production of these was the L10 in 1982. The L10 production was according to the 8.3 liters predecessor and is being applied for many different purposes. It displaces 10 liters and also, the availability is based on different forms.

The forms may include upright, for use in buses and in trucks, horizontal, for use in the under floor of trains and buses, and vertical. L10 is considered to be the very first type that is offered by Cummins as competitive in a bus market. The reason for this is because its earlier productions are very heavy and large. Also, this became a troublesome introduction to a market that have problems in sealing and high oil consumption. Here are the steps on the installation of aftermarket exhausts into the dodge 6.7 Cummins L engine.

Make sure that before touching the engine, it is already cool enough to be touched. This can protect you from getting harmed due to a very high temperature. When touching it, you can make use of gloves or any kinds of cloth to lessen the heat. Then start on removing the passenger side fender. Be sure that it is well removed for gaining access into the V band clamp.

The location of a V band clamp is in housing of the exhausts in the turbo. The V band clamps serve as connections to downpipe. After removing the fender, get a hacksaw or sawzall to cut the downpipe. Doing this is necessary before the cross member is cut so that the downpipe can be removed easily from the truck.

Begin on loosening clamps from exhausts. The component is composed of hangers and these are attached to vehicle frames. These hanger must be removed. The factory exhausts must also be removed with instructions. It is also consist of factory spare tire heat guard which is located on the exhausts tailpipe section. Cut this off and remove it. Through this, the aftermarket is accommodated with much bigger size.

Start the installation of the newly improved and the newly purchased aftermarket exhaust. Begin the process by attaching the downpipe into the factory V band which was previously taken off. Straight pieces of the exhaust pipes will then be added until the muffler will reach its proper placement. Most of the aftermarket kits are provided with pipe pieces that are labeled as 1, 2, 3, etc. See to it that the clamps are not tightened.

Hang the muffler well. Mufflers are the parts that would allow to slide the exhaust pipe in it in different directions. You may experiencing some difficulties when doing this step. So you may use pliers for stretching the ends of the muffler. Having a partner can be very helpful during this process of hanging the muffler.

Hanging over a tailpipe section and an axle pipe. Be sure to hang well all hangers. Using a penetrating oil is recommended so that the hangers will just easily slide to rubber brushings.

Do the reinstallation of passenger side fender and make that it is reinstalled well. Cranking up the truck. See to it that no rattling sounds are produced when doing this process. There maybe rattling sounds when an exhaust is loosely attached. Do some further testings and check if things are working out.
