Re: quick question
I would check your exhaust hangers, if it can move around too much it will wiggle loose at that connection.

Re: quick question
and the oposite too... if the pipes are solidly mounted, something will have to give when the torque revs it and leans over to the side.

Re: quick question
Do you mean your engine leans to the side as Longhorn Mans talking about or your engine is running lean

Re: quick question
Running lean will definately make the pipes alot hotter. And cause ill effects on the dounut gaskets.

Re: quick question
how do I fix it because this is causing my starter to get too hot, and not letting my truck start, until after it cools off for a while
