Finished cleaning the truck after a few trips...
Wife happy to get it off the front lawn.
Then once dry, park it up and pull out the factory dump pipe and make a bigger one...

removed the hi volume ARB pump. fitted small diff locker pump instead

WHY?

[coxsy]

the hi volume is a 12 volt 23 amp, to much draw from one battery, james can use it his 40 instead

As I said earlier, pull out factory dump pipe. Yeah right...!!!

Removed front pipe ok... Few bolts seized, bit of biffo and they came loose.

Three bolts on the flange all stuck fast and corroded away.
Split those nuts

Now for the dump pipe on the turbo..
Had it all apart about 5 years ago... Bit tight but do-able.
Got them all bar one
And the nut is stuffed...All corroded away.

So its Exhasut manifold off and turbo out.

More stuck nuts....

Finally finished..

Now I can get back to what I was wanting to do.

Copper coat...

Works good on cold bolts.
But I think it gets too hot for copper coat so have some new stuff.. Nickel based.. Worked fine on the pyro fitting.
