    If one of muffler straps breaks, fix it right away. Dont think that the other one will hold it. Dont try some half ### duck tape, strap repair, beacuse its cold. If youll do that the vibration will cause something to crack under the truck in most difficult place to reach. You will bang your head on sharp object, you will scrape your knuckles, you will cuss enough to get an express ticket to hell when you die, and still dont fix it right. Im just sayin

    I have seen some quick running repairs that were meant to only last till truck got to the shop last years and years.
    I have also seen preventative maintenance repairs cause ongoing issues with a component that was just fine before money and time was spent on it.

    So what are you saying? Dont do preventative maintenance and fix your truck with duct tape?

    What do you want pix of, his bleeding knuckles, the lumps on his head, or the air turning blue from his cussin'?

    Not quite. Duct tape fixes SOME things. For everything else, there is BAILING WIRE!:biggrin_2559:
