Re: 85 GMC Sierra "Scarlett"

My weekend didn't go as planned, so my shop time was confined to one day. Friday I go home at a decent time but had to go back out on a service call. It killed my shop time but I did go by Harbor Freight and grabbed new gloves for my blasting cabinet but that was it. Saturday I had a funeral to attend and dinner with family after, so no shop time again.

Today I was on a mission to accomplish as much as possible. I started with cleaning up the old hangers that were welded on the pipes. It's sad to see someone spent good money on premium quality mufflers and had them installed by an incompetent shop.

They cut the collectors off the headers and made each side one piece so I had to cut them to remove them. Its good that I did because neither muffler was welded all around. It was hung so rigid that the truck vibrated from exhaust resonance. Time to resolve all of those issues is coming soon.
