Kerry sorry for your experience there is a good reason we hate to trust mechanics we don't know no mater how excessive their labor rates are. From what I have recently found out it is common for the flex line that connects the exhaust pipe to the muffler to separate and if you don't stop and some how connect it again the excessive heat will cause all kinds of damage . The flex connection on my country coach has separated at the exhaust pipe and I secured it with a large hose clamp. So far it is holding I need to get a large band clamp to hold it. A friend had his come apart on his American Tradition and he has had to repair his hydronic lines for the jacks that got damaged from the heat. There is a lot more to these diesels then the simple /1970 erior GMC. It definitely takes a lot of time to transition from maintaining a GMC to maintaining a diesel.
