Truck exhaust systems vary according to series and
model designation. Series 10-30 trucks use a split-joint
design system in which the exhaust pipe-to-muffler and
muffler-to-tailpipe connections are clamped together.
The series 40-60 models use basically a welded system
in which all muffler and tailpipe connecting points are
welded. Regardless of which production system, all
service muffler, exhaust pipe and tailpipe unions are se ­
cured with clamps.

burning of the exhaust gases. Always use the

systems.
When installing a new exhaust pipe, muffler or tailpipe,
on any model, care should be taken to have the correct
alignment and relationship of the components to each
other. Particular care should be given to the installation
of the exhaust pipe and crossover pipe assembly on V
engine single exhaust systems. Incorrectly assembled
parts of the exhaust system are frequently the cause of
annoying noises and rattles due to improper clearances
or obstructions to the normal flow of gases.
