Steps On How An Aftermarket Exhaust Is Installed To A Dodge 6.7 Cummins L Engine

Cummins L series engines are straight 6 diesel engines which are produced and are designed by Cummins. These engine types can displace 10 liters. The production has started in the year 1982 and was named L10. This L10 engine was being based on a predecessor with 8.3 liters and is used into many different applications. This can displace 10 liters and is made available in different forms.

The forms are classified into three types, the vertical form, horizontal form for the buses and the trains under floors, and upright form for the trucks and buses. The L10 is the first engine to be offered competitive by Cummins in the market. This is due to having the earlier productions as too large and too heavy. The introduction also became troublesome, having higher oil consumption and also sealing problems. Here are the installation steps of aftermarket exhausts to an engine of dodge 6.7 Cummins L type.

Be sure to let the engine be cooled first before you are going to touch it. This must be cooled first so you will be protected from any harm because of the engines high temperature. If you touch it, you may provide a pair of gloves or even just any types of cloth for the heat to be lessened. After cooling, start to remove its passenger side fender. Make sure to remove it well so you can have an easy access to 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 to loosen the clamps from the exhausts. There are hangers being attached into a vehicle frame, so remove these hangers. Remove as well as the factory exhaust along with the instructions. A factory spare tire heat guard is located in a tailpipe section of an exhaust. Cut if off then remove it. An aftermarket will be accommodated with a bigger size after removing it.

Start on installing the improved and newly purchased type of aftermarket exhaust. The process is started by the attachment of a downpipe to a factory V band that is being taken off previously. Exhaust pipes straight pieces are then added until a muffler is going to reach its proper location. Usually, the aftermarket kits will be provided with some pipe pieces which are already labeled from 1, 2, 3, etc. Be sure not to tighten the clamps.

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.
