Thanks. I'm going to get the seal this weekend and I'll post pics of the install.

 

OOPS, sorry about the misinformation, sorry Clay.. Great price there.

 

Hey no worries Just wanted to put it out there since even at my offering price they are to much But I am working on some avenues to help lower the pricing soon I hope. Thanks Mike

 

Does anyone know if their is also a seal between the exhaust manifold and the up pipes and what are the part numbers or what is a good replacement seal?

Also, can the up pipes be removed, unbolted without braking or stripping the bolts?

 

Bumping the message in hopes to get an answer.

Thanks guys

 

No, there isn't a gasket there it is metal on metal seal. You can unbolt everything with out stripping and breaking them but PB Blaster is your friend.

 

ahh, thank you so very much for your reply. I am going to make the repairs ASAP.

 

You might want to have some extra bolts on hand, just in case
I'll be there if you need help wrenching.

 

LOL, well when our weather clears up I may need it.

 

Well just as an update to this post I have changed the donut seal. I went out to a friends house even though I didn't feel all that well after getting WAY to much sun after fishing on Sunday and had supper and was wining and complaining about how I can never get anything done that I need to get done, including changing the exhaust donut on my truck and a friend there offered to give me a hand.
We went out, started un-screwing bolts and managed to get the driver's side up pipe off as it was the one leaking.
The inside bolt that holds the up pipe to the combiner was a serious pain the the **** but we have it some heat with a torch and broke her loose.
After pulling all the bolts we PB'd them, wired brushed them and proceeded to put everything back into place.
On my way home I notice that the ticking sound was gone but I could now hear the sound from the trannie much better with the ticking sound gone.
The sound from the trannie is a chattering noise that seems to subside for the moment when taking right hand bends while going down the hwy.
Anyhow, I'll make another post for that one but I thought I'd thank everyone for the help and post the picture of the two donuts. One is the new one the other is the old one.
Keep in mind this is the chevy replacement donut and as far as I know the old stock donut.

 

Hyou decided what the noise can be in your tranny? Glad you got the exhaust leak fixed, thanks for sharing!

 

I haven't determined the noise as of yet but I created another post specific to that problem. I thought I'd let everyone know that this post is complete and here is what I completed it with. So far so good. The seal has made the crazy ticking noise go away and now the cab is much quieter which is why I can hear the trannie so much better.
