Yea, I agree!

Im about fed up with my contractor in MD right now. She apparently doesnt like me anymore since I told her I wasnt driving 35 minutes to Richmond for 4 properties unless she gave more money per home. Guess how many properties she sent me today...4!!! Im minutes away from telling her to shove it, regardless if I get this job today or not. Believe it or not I made bank for my one day of working for the moon bounce thing weekend before last! 9pm til 11pm and 745-845am and he paid me 145 bucks!

Thanks Jim. Can this realistically be done solo or do I need a helper?

Congrats on the job, Lisa. I have almost the same hours: 7-5 M-Th, and 7-11 on Fridays. Best thing is that when the jobs are coming hot and heavy (NOT like now), I can actually get paid straight time as OT pay as well!! When I was in the manufacturing palnts, I got all the OT I could handle, but it was always on MY nickel.

Thanks!

It can be done alone, but 2 makes it a lot easier! Go start soaking your clamp at the down pipe with PB Blaster a day or so beforehand!

I actually have had that apart about a year ago. It came apart pretty easy then so should be good but I will give her a squirt just to make sure. Replaced the EBPV. I wish I had a Wicked Wheel and I would do that at the same time. Dang shortage!

You can do it buy yourself, the toughets part is getting the downpipe to line up. Once you get it in place a couple of bungees on the bottom may halp you to hold it while your on top.

Not the final nail but really added a few more to it. I just hope that the judge can see clearly what has to be done here.

I am thinking of painting the exhaust with some high temp paint before the install to protect it from the chemicals they use so heaily here in the winter. Anybody have thoughts on a color preference? If it matters my truck it a goldish/tan color. Not sure what the official Ford name is for it. Ron did his a while back and says it is holding up well.
