It's Vitaly, Ken - Vitaly
I do indeed plan on welding the cat back and holding it for a spare - but only after I write a nastygram to Dr. Z. Other then the failed weld, piping on the old cat looks pretty good.
And Ken, after all said and done - once you know
exactly what to look out for, this job is not that hard. All you need is a jackstand for the truck, another for the center diff, an assortment of metric sockets and a chisel and a hammer. Really... Look out for the DIY - I'll write one (okay, copy and paste) for the list as well.
Gilly, should I write the DIY on this thread? What's the procedure? Thanks.
