6.0 powerstroke cracked y pipe
i was wondering if anyone knew the problems with y pipe cracked.i have truck half way tore apart and i need to get it to the shop cause it aint running right with no power and i was wondering if the cracked y pipe is a major concern.cause if it aint i was gona just go ahead and put back togethor without fixing y pipe.so i can get it to a shop monday cause its my welding truck and i cant make any money with it not running right.thanks

It's going to lose turbo drive pressure, and likely be noisy as hell. Which side did it break on?
|
driver side it is blowin out of the mesh looking stuff on the pipe.pretty good amount the whole firewall and back of motor is full of black sut.and u can see the the blackness around that mesh on pipe.thanks
|
It definately needs to be fixed, and is not a very fun job to do, FWIW. Best I can offer is take the RH pipe apart, and pull the short section out, then undo the driver's side and wheel the hole business outta there - it's a real ignorant repair to do.

i got it out this morning it was a pain.but can i just cut that part out thats leaking and weld in a piece a pipe
|
sure can i did that to mine but i welded the top end in place bolted it in place threw the turbo in to get it lined up and tacked it in place then i pulled it back out and tig welded everything....... no more accordian :yeah:
