    Absolutely DO NOT drive truck until repairs are made the exhaust leaking into vent can put you to sleep plus do damage to your health. I’m surprised you’re not experiencing headaches clamp must’ve just broke.

    i definitely agree! I’m not moving until I get a new clamp. This did just start yesterday and wasn’t that bad initially. I’m still trying to put the dash back together before I start looking around for a new clamp. Appreciate the concern driver!

    I'm glad I just watched this after it took off. No one died and I learnt something. Thank you

    You tried.
    Watch the tech put it on. Next time you can do it.
    Good luck

    I watched him put it on and saw why I couldn’t do it (the accordion looking part of the pipe was frozen and needed to be pried apart between the spaces so the whole pipe could extend out and get close enough to the turbo to secure the clamp). He showed me a few other things and it’s still freezing out… definitely worth the cost. Thank you again everyone!

    Now that its been repaired, air everything out good in case you have any contaminates in your pillows or seats or what not. Glad your good to go.
