SrA_Heise Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 We have a 2004 F-350 4x4 XL 4 door auto 6.0 in our shop. This thing has a strong smell of exhaust in the cab, we have tightened everything we can find without digging to deep into the motor, still smells. The downpipe was really loose though. It seems like the right exhaust manifold might be leaking, cant really tell though. The exhaust the rest of the way is all good, this truck has about 10,000 miles on it. Where else should we check, is this a common problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchan68 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Turbo exhaust y-pipe inlet at the flex joint. Very common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrA_Heise Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 do you just have to tighten? or is there a gasket that goes bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchan68 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 They crack at the flex-joint. To repair you have to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamageINC Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I'll be the guy in the back of the theater who ends up making headlines similar to the ones we saw about Pee Wee Herman a good while ago... On a serios note, we've had a lot of School Buses come in with exhaust smells that ended up originating at the exhaust manifolds where they meet up with the heads. There are actual gaskets made for these engines and so far, after installing exhaust manifold gaskets, none have returned. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
