Need new muffler DD Series 60

[David Brady]

Sorry, no help with muffler contacts. Is putting a straight

pipe on it acceptable? That's what I'd do to mine if I were

in your predicament. You could run it for a while, pending

the new muffler, or live with it if it's not too loud, which I

don't think it would be.

The muffler is totally shot (and probably dangerous). CCW has been

doing some work -- slow parts receipt has kept me here over the week

end (bummer)... but they're doing a good job. I'm pleased, so far,

with the service.



Ran into a problem with the muffler. After making many calls, they

could only find a source from Detroit Diesel on a "made to order"

basis, with a 7 to 10 day delivery. (EEEK! I _really_ don't want to

spend another two weeks sitting in their lot!)



Does anyone know of a truck/heavy equipment muffler shop in the Los

Angeles basin that can fabricate a muffler that would be a reasonable

replacement for my coach?



I would think that it's not that much of a tough job... the only

thing I can see is that it has a bend in the pipe at the lower end to

connect up....



Any ideas?



BTW, be sure to inspect those mufflers. The end on mine allowed rain

to flood down into the muffler -- couldn't have helped it ... and it

developed a hole at the bottom end where the water likely pooled.

Also, the top end seems to allow a puddle to form -- and that end is

rusted through as well.
