Have an odd request here. I have managed to damage the bellow on my passenger side Up pipe beyond repair (don't ask how, long story and I don't want to talk about it. I am kicking myself enough.) Wanted to throw this out here just to cover all my bases before I drop a small fortune on one single up pipe from International.

Does anybody have a spare, passenger side, single bellowed international up pipe that they would like to get rid of?? I understand this is odd but I gotta ask.

Cheers all,
Sean

 

I sent you a PM... We don't want to illicit unwanted attention from the moderators by doing sales talk here in this forum, outside of the Classifieds section.

Besides, we wouldn't kick you for your mistake. More than likely, you would just end up hearing about some of our own stupid moves because it's always good to recognize and admit our own uh-oh's. Don't get me wrong... not asking... just saying that we've all been there, and some of us have paid some hefty prices for it, too (i.e. Open Reduction & Fixation surgery on my left leg for forgetting to use wheel chocks one day!).

 

I just bought a used set off of a '97 7.3 That I'll send you for the cost of shipping and the $25 i paid for them. I was going to install these on my dads truck sometime in January/February but I think I'm going to to get a bellowed set for him as a christmas gift.

 

So, the set you just bought is the original style pipes with donut gaskets, right? From Sean's post, he's looking for the bellowed pipes, not the donut style.

 

Yes, these are the oem style. I misread the post.

Thanks, Pete.

If anyone can help the OP, please respond to him via PM's and do not post any sales talk or price/money here in the thread.

Per the guidelines, asking if parts are available is ok, but "transaction language" has to be done in PM's.

Thanks guys!

Huge thanks to Pete (F250_) for hooking me up with a set of used bellowed up pipes!!!! Save me quite a bit of money. Just another reason why this forum is so great!!!! People on here helping each other out.


Here is a picture of the bad up pipe.



So the back back story on this is about 3 years ago I bought a set if used IH bellowed up pipes from a member on PSN. Can't remember the price but I saved probably $100. Well when I received them I noticed a nick in the bellow next to the bolt hole on the pass side pipe. I believe this was from using a wobbly on an extension and probably an impact gun to break the bolt free. It must of came loose and the wobbly damaged the bellow on the up pipe while swinging around uncontrollably . Well I wasn't real happy when I saw this but figured that's how it goes when you buy used. So I installed them in my truck anyways thinking it won't leak that bad..... Well from that day on they have leaked slightly. That noise was a constant reminder of me being cheap. I should have contacted the seller and told him they were damaged and sent them back. Instead I let it go and it has cost me a lot more $$$$ in the long run than just buying new. Lesson learned.

 

Glad it's working out.

 

You could probably source a new bellow and have a welding shop weld it together for you for about $100. I'm just saying I wouldn't throw them away. That being said you can get a set of Rudy's diesel up pipes for not much more than that....so never mind, chunk em.

 

Ida thrown some JB Weld on it to see if it would hold.

For future searches, i've been told the hardware part number is 679-005-H

 

Thanks for being 18 months behind the curve.

 

better late than never. at least now when people search they're able to find some information

 

Agreed...so I took liberty to edit and add that info so the rest of the brotherhood can resist any further ribbing.

Damn Mark...vacay's are supposed to make ya happy and laid back!

TBH if you can stretch the bellows a tiny bit, get a very small steel puddy (sold at Autozone) and boom put it on the hole and solved...
