Stacks? Who puts stacks on their truck??








When it rains the water sits there....until you start the truck....

Then you have tiny black spots everywhere that dont wash off...

Don't stand outside the truck and start it...

you could just use out turn stacks.... helps to keep the little black spots off..... they do come off but its very very hard... especially on white trucks like mine.... i did have stack on up until i put the flatbed and boxes on.....

When i go through the car was after washing Turbo(My 84 6.9) I blast all the clean and or dirty cars next to me when i take off lol. I aint been able to try it with the turbo, but it would probably be a lot of fun XD. Stacks with flappers is where its at dude, i would go with that to keep rain and spots out of your mind.

Does anyone know where you can still get the old style "tin" flappers? Those make that fun "tink tink" sound.

Only ones i can find here are very heavy and make more of a 'clack'.

This was one i got...way too loud...

YouTube - Rain cap

I would just put a like hole maybe 1/8th at the bottom of the stacks for the water to drain out.

The little hole wont help much, i had my stack up till i had to wash it ever other day and use rubbing compound on the roof. Friggin stuff is nasty, im pondering having my dad re work the stack and make it a turnout. With the turbo, i have seen guys shoot soot that lands on cars 50 feet away. Friggin hilarious. Guy would pull into a mall parking lot and pour water in his stack, let it marinate for a minute and when the coast was clear.....boom. it looked like someone went around with a sharpie marker shotgun and blasted all the cars around him, had to be confusing for car owners.
