Itīs probably going to leave a mess of soot where itīs leaking. But most important is the risk of getting exhaust fumes in the cab. Jess_sr 07-22-2008, 06:39 AM It won't hurt as long as the heat from the exhaust isn't blowing on anything like wires, trans cooler lines, fuel lines etc... I've seen many transmission harness's burnt up due to exhaust leaks that ended in a rebuild because they continued to drive while the unit was in default. | ||
