Funky Phil Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) is that a swivel joint? youll have to disconnect it and look. is it leaking? Edited October 25, 2013 by Funky Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieJ Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Looks like it would use a donut gasket but like Phill said you wont be sure until its apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malykaii Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 On my formerly NA montero there was a gasket there... flat one like the first one, not a donut swivel one. Second that, take it apart first before you order parts. And be careful not to snap those bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidjc Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) With that kinda gap... if it was leaking, certainly would seem that would be rather noticable eh? . Edited October 25, 2013 by kidjc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burabuda Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 well i don't remember if it was leaking because i limped it home and parked it a few years ago i do know there wasn't a gasket on there when i pulled it apart(i know that could mean squat) i'm about ready for 1st startup and want to be proactive..

JAinsworth Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 You need the first one. The donut looking one goes on the other end of the downpipe or pre-cat where the bolts with springs on them are.Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyWadd Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 is that a swivel joint? youll have to disconnect it and look. is it leaking? I think it is. Look like a b2600 or d-50 unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen 2 trucks that would not fire a lick only back fire , went to 3 garages before I got ahold of then,, both had cats so melted and filled with soot that they were 100% pluged , removed the aux air valve and both fired right up ,,after mechanics had spent day and days trying to get them running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
