The wife complained about the fumes when I tried that.

Have you tried bailing wire?

Psh, tell her to toughen up! Or get her an O2 mask!

Have you tried the muffler tape that they make? How old is the van?

The muffler tape/exhaust tape works pretty well, but I wouldn't call it a long term fix by any means

Have you tried bailing wire?

Wouldn't be worth the effort. It would just start leaking somewhere else. What gets me is the fact that this van is 6 years old and the muffler is shot. My truck is 12 years old and the muffler doesn't even have much rust on it.

A new OEM style muffler is only around $60. I think I'd rather just fix it right. None of the local parts stores have it in stock so I'll need to wait for it to come in. I checked some on line sources and couldn't beat the price so I'll just buy local.

That would be my advice if you plan to keep it for a little while.

Definitely not replacing the van for a while. Damn thing needs tires too though!

Well gang heading to the range to check the fix on my 10/22. Hope the rain holds out.

Well that makes a little more sense. I didn't think Chuck Beiber was old enough for muffs yet.

You're not a true addict. If you were, it wouldn't matter where they came from. I imagine Mrs. G can make a mean pie.

I used to, I don't bake anymore

I knew a guy once who looked a lot like you, he worked making tires too at Hoosier tire. Damn he'd be almost old enough to be your dad.. do you know who your father is?

Na, I worked up north at B.F. Goodrich (also Uniroyal or Michelin depending on the years).

And yes, I know who my father is

You do?

 

[Suprtek]

Mrs. G, I've been driving by your store way too often lately. That's one of the few times I wish I didn't drive a marked company vehicle.
