Just picked up a 93 Ram 250 cummins with 202,253 for $800.00 i am like a kid in a candy store lol. After i get the break and rot situation taken care of I want to stack it just single what would be the best size? Im thinking about making my own CAT stack. Would running the stock 3in into the bed then a 6in stack sound alright?or if any one has a better idea i would appreciate it Thanks

hey you stole my idea! ha ha jk. I just need to put my CAT stack on, its an 8 incher though. I guess there will be two first gens with CAT stacks if you get yours on.

get rid of the 3in down pipe wayyyy better sound with the full 4in

 

[seidl228]

yeah im tight on cash the truck had some rust and break issues so i figured making the stack wouldnt cost me much once i get going thats going to be my first project. 92 smokin blacky did you make yours? either way could you shoot me a picture of it so i have something to go by dont wanna steal your plan lol but it would help lol idk how high i would go im thinking like 36in

well to tell you the truth, I bought one for cheap from our county shop but then i got offered quite a bit for it so I sold it cuz I made quite a bit of money off it so now I'm gonna build one, it would be the cheapest way. I got the part number off the stack before i sold it, but i forgot to get all the measurements and angles I do have some pics of it though so hopefully i can look at the pics and build the 8" stack alright. here is some pics of the stack i had before i sold it, it wasn't hooked up, i just had it sittin on a bucket to see what it'd look like.

the piece on the left is a piece of 8" stovepipe i found in my basement that I was gonna put on the bottom to make it 8" from the bottom of the bed up, but if i build one, i will make it longer. Now i'm just tryin to find some 8" exhaust pipe, anyone know where to get some???

 

[dieselfreak01]

if you guys want i can try to price the stack i work at a cat dealer

 

[seidl228]

that looks so sick im definatly making one now thanks for the pictures ill prob just make a 6in one it will be easier to find pipe lol probably looking at a couple hundred from cat tho right?

 

[92 smokin blacky]

yeah price one for us if you can, i have a part number if you need it. I'd like to know what they cost new? Ha ha we have an old 80's Cat loader on the farm and I noticed today that it has a CAT stack too, its only a mini one, like a 3 or 4 incher but its got the same design as the new ones, I'll have to post a pic of it sometime.

 

[dieselfreak01]

i priced the 8 incher is what i had the part number for and it was right at 170 at my price.

 

[seidl228]

thanks for looking it up thats not a bad deal but i just dumped another grand into mine needed brakes and a radiator and a transmission cooler im just going to make a 6in one 8 is a little big for what i want but it looks sick on smokeys truck forsure

 

[dieselfreak01]

if i can i will try to find to part number for a sixer tomorow and let yall know

 

[92 smokin blacky]

$170??? wow i heard they were like $350! Man thats not a bad price at all, I might have to call and order one if i can get it that cheap, it would save me a lot of hassle. thanks man

 

[dieselfreak01]

now just remember thats my price, full price was like 190 i think

 

[dieselfreak01]

just priced a six it just a turnout it was 212, found another 8 inch it was 262. the one part number you had for the 8 was the cheaper one, 2374986 is the pn for the six

 

[seidl228]

thanks dieselfreaknow i know if i want one i can run to our local dealer and snag one someday but i think im going to make one i just need to find some pipe. i love the chanenge of making things and it gives me something to do when im not working

 

[dieselfreak01]

well make me a 4" downpipe lol

 

[92 smokin blacky]

okay what was the part number for the cheaper 8" one? The 8" stack I had was off a 966H CAT loader and the part number was 244-1047 J6, Could you check on that number for me please? The one you said was $190, do you know what kind of equipment that stack was for? And do you know how long or tall that stack was? the one i had fit just right and it was off that 966 loader so If that one for $190 is the same size I will probably try and get it. Thanks man.

Don't know if this the right place but here it goes. Just bought a 08 2500 6.7. Truck has awsome power I know of all the issues this design has had in the past. The truck had 8k and was a lemon buy back cause of the soot burn off issue the previous owner had. The dealer replaced the turbo and has done all the up graded flashes to the computer etc etc. The dreason i bought thetruckis that we got a fantastic deal on basically a new truck with a 84 month warrante and 7 yrs of free oil changes. And it still quallifies for the lemon buy back issue if the problems aren't resolved. So far so good with the truck. My question is Does the regen of the dpf happen automatically? I will be driving this truck mostly on the freeway and the out back in Nevada and will be towing a toy hauler. Will delete kits void my warrante? The deal on the truck was too good to pass up. Time will tell I guess. Thanks!
