Hey all. I sure like stacks on these trucks. Looks cool and gets the exhaust off the ground. However with that said, I tow a gooseneck horse trailer. People have hinted to me that with the stack up there the exhaust will get sucked into the horse compartment.

Does anyone have experience with this? I have noticed the hauler across the street has a huge bend at the top of the stack and they are super tall. Don't want to do that so maybe best the way it is?

Thanks all.

Mike

Wouldn't surprise me if the horses did inhale quite a bit of soot. Also I hope you like washing your trailer as it will be covered with soot as well. PM Sapps, he has lots of experience with this. It was such a pain he removed his stacks on his towing trucks.

Thanks haulnhorses2. That is what I am thinking so as much as they look cool I will keep my pipe low and out. It blows out past the trailer now so will keep it that way.

Happy trails.

Does your trailer have those side plexiglass sliders? If so you can put a single bull hauler stack and then put those plexiglass sliders on that side its on and then keep the other side open for fresh air for the horses. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif

what do you do if your trailer has big dents in it? lol j/k andrew

 

[00PSD1]

I can still run a stack on my truck with my trailer but I dont have it in me to cut a hole in my bed

Its just the angle the picture was taken no dents on my trailer well maybe a few dings from the old owner /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/phoney.gif

Yes I have the plexiglass sliders for the butt side. That would cut down on air flow though. I have been wanting to put fans in the horse compartment anyway. Good for thought. First my Terminator though. Maybe then I can get some respect fro bigrpwr... lol just kidding...

Thanks for the idea Andrew. Let me know when you are passing by next time. Stop in and say howdy.

Stacks are probably the least practical thing you could to a towing truck and especially a horse hauler. For the welfare of your horses DONT DO IT! I have watched the exhaust exit the stacks and head directly into both sides of the trailer.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[mmcspadden]

Thanks all. I don't expect I will ever do it. Looks cool though.

[/ QUOTE ]this made me smile my bud had a cumm-a-part and he had stacks and he got mad cause he notice soot goin in his trailer and soot all over it. so he raise them like 4ft above the cab and it worked fine the soot rolled over the top instead of going in the trailer. so if u do it make them TALL

 

[mmcspadden]

lol if they were that tall I would scrape them on low bridges...

Thanks everyone I figured the stack idea would go away and it has. I still think they look cool though.

I also like the way JW put his exhaust in front of the rear tires with the cut out.

Have a good day!

My buddy had that same problem except for him it was the Burger King drive thru he hit.

 

[dougdoug]

just imagine if the truck were lifted!

 

[mmcspadden]

Well there ya go it has been done. Burger King huh? lololol You couldn't put on a camper with stacks either...

 

[Dualie]

Don't do it. The Pete in the sig below had stacks. They really looked bitchen but anything on the roof rack of the trailer got blasted with soot. And the rear doors of the trailer also. the stacks were pretty high up too.

IT was nice when towing another trailer behind it though, You could tell every time he was getting ready to pass it would snap two distinct black puffs out the stacks as the turbo played catch up for a second.

 

[mmcspadden]

2 puffs, that is coool!
Too bad something that looks so neat lacks functionality in the real wold.

Folks on our trail rides have told me I'd regret putting stacks on my truck because of soot. I have never had soot build up on the trailer, and I seriously doubt any of the exhaust is making it inside the trailer. But then I don't have my truck chipped, even flooring it, I only get a hint of smoke, especially with this new ultra low sulfur fuel.

 

[Blackcloud2k]

Yeah Im in your same position. Love stacks but hauling a cattle trailer once or twice a week would be a problem. But of course I think the soot on the trailer is a pain to clean but always gets me some good looks when I pull into different places (my normal exaust paints the side of the trailer).
