[QUOTE="Fordzuki, post: 1532562, member: 17662"] I used 1.5" exhaust tube on mine, made a couple of small bends with a pipe kinker, and all the bigger bends were sections of radiator hose. I just went to shucks and had them take me back to the radiator hoses so I could pick out a few with the most bends that were 1.5". The only thing I don't like about mine is it's technically in the cab. It works great as a heater though. :redneck: I had a hell of a time burping mine even with an air evac, but what worked for me was removing the t-stat and leaving the housing off till I started seeing green and replaced the housing minus t-stat. I also had a hard time getting the radiator hoses to seal on the 1.5" exhaust tubing, so I smeared some ultra grey on the tubes before sliding the hoses over. Haven't had a leak since adding the ultra grey. It'd be better to just roll a bead on the tube, but I was just trying to get it done at the time. All in all, if I could squeeze a radiator in up front, I probably would. But I don't have the space, so when I redo the cage I'm going to move it further back in the rig. Some old pics...
