[QUOTE="little luke, post: 1524390, member: 1573"] I’ve got a 2003 excursion with a 6.8. The exhaust gasket blew out after 5 of the 10 exhaust studs on the driver side rotted off. While removing the remaining studs 1 more snapped. Most are below flush and I’m having no luck at all. 1 was slightly above flush and I attempted to weld a nut to it, but It is so brittle it just snapped off. I’ve used a pick to clean the corrosion off the edges and keep soaking them in pb blaster, drilling and attempted to use a bolt extractor. No dice. The entire truck has pretty bad rot, so I’m not to optimistic. So I’m thinking of just buying a head and being done with it. Problem is every thing I read says to pull the cab (not an option) and I’m not seeing why. Seems like on the driver side there is plenty of room. Am I missing something here?
