    Hole in muffler

    Posted by Larry on September 24, 2012 at 8:25 pm

    Today as I was draining the coolant and noticed a hole in the side of the muffler. It appears something on the road flew up and cut a hole about 2 inches long on the inboard side of the muffler. It is not a rust hole but a cut. The muffler seems solid.I really don’t want to buy a new muffler. Has any one welded on a muffler with any sucess? I have been thinking of a patch of some kind. Tomorrow I will inspect the tires on the muffler side of the coach for any damage.

    Larry,

    I patched one with thin metal, used rivets to secure and high temp caulking for stove pipes.

    Just a quick message of caution if you or someone says they can repair your muffler with a quick weld.

    Unplug and swithch off every toggle switch you have unplug from shore power and most important…… make sure your invertors are turned off.

    A good muffler shop should be able to gas weld it.
