Disconnect the negative
(ground) cable from the battery (if
there is more than one battery,
disconnect both negative cables).
Secure the cable so it cannot
accidentally come in contact with the
post.
2.
Raise the vehicle and support it
securely with properly weight-rated
safety stands, ramps or a commercial
hoist. Take care to balance the vehicle
to prevent it from slipping or falling.
When using ramps, be sure the
wheels are centered squarely on the
topsides. Place the transmission in park
(automatic) or reverse (manual), set
the parking brake and securely block
the wheels that are on the ground.
CAUTION: Do not work under any
vehicle supported only by a jack.
Severe injury may result.

or saw. Proper safety equipment
should be used. Failure to use
proper safety equipment may
result in severe injury.

From under the vehicle, remove
the factory exhaust system from the
catalytic converter back. Starting at
the rear of the vehicle, remove each
component by either cutting through
the pipe near the clamps or by
removing the clamps and heating the
joints with an Oxy-Acetylene torch
to allow crimped pipes to separate.

cONVERTER TUBING DURING THE
REMOVAL PROcESS. To assist in
removal, the turbine outlet pipe (T.O.P.)
should be cut before the transmission

Note: To assist in T.O.P. removal,
remove the rear engine hoist hook by
removing the two (2) Hex screws and
remove the valve cover heatshield.
The dipstick tube may also be
removed or slightly bent to allow for
T.O.P. removal/installation. Retain all
hardware and parts for reassembly.
For Manual Transmissions only: The
transmission will need to be lowered
to allow for removal and installation of
the T.O.P. Using a transmission jack,
support the rear of the transmission to
allow working room for the T.O.P. and
remove the rear transmission mount
and crossmember. Remove the Front
drive shaft support bracket from the
cab. Lower the transmission 4-6” and
remove the factory T.O.P.
The transmission may need to be
