Muffler replacement

For the cost of a new one, it may be worth a try. I understand you are in Tucson which is 300 miles from me. If you could get the muffler removed, I could meet you 1/2 way and take the muffler to my welder. How long will you be in Tucson?

Chester,
thanks you for your offer!
We are here for another month I think? we had some radiator ises as you might heard from my posts and few other repairs, so everything is in the air as far how long we will be here!
I was thinking if i would do rebuild muffler and say cost will be $800 or close to it, I would go with new set up from Newell , I think they charge around $800 than I would get it done & start with brand new system!

As far as my radiator goes, we put the replacement on hold! i figured I can try something cheaper and if that wont work , we can always go the replacement route.
I put some Bare's pellets ( I think that is the name of the product ) 2 bottles ran engine for hr got the water tem all the way to 175F , looked the radiator and so far no leaks ! I heard storry om Monacos, Country C that worked and last some years after firts aplication!

In two weeks we are going to Catalina RV park ( Oro Valley ) very nice campground right in front of majestic 8000' peaks of Push mountains, anyway, will drive it and check the radiator after for leaks!

Problem with muffler is that in December it looked quite better & I should done work than , but we were in the woods than, no after some 600 miles looks worse and about to fall out one day! so we need to do something soon !
again, thanks you for your offer but I think we should replace it! the main body of the muffler ( flat section ) is dented from last owner hitting smoething , so that part might be hard to bring it back to shape!
