Check your exhaust shield

While we were going through the sled on Saturday trying to find the cause of a SD26 code, I noticed this:

Remove that shield and check the flex joint on the pipe from the manifold to the turbo. It's not a bad idea to remove it completely and inspect it for cracks.

Recall on that shield. Dealer changed mine.

Are there any other recals?

None that I am aware of.

Its a good thing to check at the same time if the flexible is not leaking. I had mine cracked in two pieces. Covered by warranty. Had to replace shield and gaz tank protective wraps.

If you happen to get the guard changed under warranty, ask for the only one and recycle it into a Fleecer Mod Airscoop and enjoy cooler clutch temps.

Yes i saw that great looking mod. The new shield was backordered when I ordered. I also did all the job myself. I am supposed to be picking up the new shield on thursday, so I will still have my old one.
Did you find it to lower the belt and clutchs temps by a good margin?

Yes! It is not the end all cure all, but another step in right direction.
