Has anyone had anyproblems with cracking the gasket when installing the new pipe from Spartan?

My pipe has been on and off way more times than I care to count and I am still using the original gasket with no problems.

are you using some type of adhesive to instal the gasket ? what are you torquing the bolts to ?

[bkuepaint]

I haven't installed the pipe yet. I was just wondering before I did it

bkuepaint - You shouldn't have any problems with it. Just make sure you use something like BP Blaster or liquid wrench on the sensor and let it sole for awhile before you try to remove it.

I mounted my dpf on the inside of the left frame rail. Three holes drilled for the exhaust mount bracket. The exhaust end goes forward. I used some 1/4" aluminum plate with holes drilled for the flange bolts. This is bolted to a section of 1/4" aluminum angle. The factory gasket is still on the dpf. Mr. Gasket makes a 10"X10" exhaust sheet (NAPA) and that's what I used for the delete pipe gasket.
I capped the exhaust end of the dpf with a stainless steel poker chip cup (3.5" inside). I bought a new dpf pressure sensor and mounted it in the delete pipe. With this setup the dpf is always along just in case and the swap back should be quick.

Dont' know that I will bring mine along, but I just can't wait to get it on!

Post some pics, it would be interesting see your set up. Thanks

Good idea!

Sierraflyer - I too would like to see some pictures!!!

[Sierraflyer]

I am travelling right now and will get some pictures next week after I get home. The part number for the sensor is
8C3Z-12B591-D. My truck is a Job 1.

[Sierraflyer]

This is how I mounted my DPF so that it is always along.

good idea

Sierraflyer - That's a wonderful idea!!!! Now I know where it will be when we start pulling our fifth wheel all over the US. Great post. If you have any more pictures, I would like to see them.

[BigIslandBoy]

Cool. You could make a template and sell them...

[Sierraflyer]

Thanks Mick1955. It sure makes me feel better knowing I've got the thing along on a trip away from home.

BigIslandBoy, this is a good weekend project. The mounting plate can be 1/4 inch aluminum or steel plate. Use the DPF flang for a hole template. Some thought has to be given for the template for the 3 holes through the frame. The hanger needs to be rotated to the rear so that the mount lays flat with the bottom ot the frame. This is the only way it clears the fuel lines. I used a piece of aluminum angle for a template.

[hotlicks2go]

Nice.. looks like you keep a clean swap with sensor already aboard!

[Sierraflyer]

I knew I would end up breaking the sensor off at some time. So I got another one for the delete pipe. The sensor part number for my truck is in one of the posts above. It is for a Job 1 truck, the later trucks use a lower priced sensor.

are you using the exhaust hanger on the other end of the dpf or is it only being held up buy being bolted to the plate?

[Gerry]

He's using the hanger flipped over and mounted to the frame rail. From what I can tell it sits level on the lower lip of the rail. In the 2nd picture you can see where he drilled the 3 holes for the stock bracket's mounting studs.

[Sierraflyer]

Yes Brad g, Gerry is right. The hangar does support part of the weight. It needs to be flipped all the way to the rear of the DPF if you have the sensor installed in the filter.
