Let's start over......
They are all getting expensive with the EPA mandates on emissions for diesels and it's only going to get worse with the fuel milage mandates that are coming. I like the Cummins engine I just can't stand the wrapper it comes in. I have been looking and following what diesels like mine are going for in the 08-11 platform and a used one with 25,000 to 55,000 miles are going for $35,000 up to over $40,000 hell there is a twin to my truck with 32k on it going for $32,995 at a dealer just outside of Green Bay.

They're not the only ones going to do this either.....so when looking for a new bank pay close attention to the fine print and ask alot of questions.....

Here's a pic of what I do for my real job......
It took me a little under 30 hours straight to remove this pipe......the pipe was in an existing building with storage racks and product pallets all over the place and in my way.....I killed three scissor lifts during the 30 hrs

BTW....the pipe is steel not cast.....sizes are 6" and 2.5" schedule 15.....
Hard to tell the material from the picture but I knew it was metal of some type. That's nuts, are they just going to sell it for scrap tonnage or is there something special you have to do with once it's condemed?
Why you asking? Are you thinking John might want to buy it to make some stacks?

Their company is going to scrap it out and then after the new roof we'll come back and install new.......this old pipe had a lot of leaks popping through the pipe also.....its about 30 years old.....

Nope, I am just curious. No I prefer the exhaust on my truck to exit behind the wheels for my own amusement and torturing the little rice rockets that tail gate my truck or the idiot with the loud stereo that's so loud I can't have a phone conversation in my truck with the windows up. Nothing says F you!! like straight pipe turbo whine and a cloud of soot in the open rice rocket drivers window with the exhaust at face level.
That's about the life span of steel and cast pipe in schedule 15. Sounds like it's going to be just as much fun to put it back in.
