Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Looking to remove Silencer ring????

[firemanmarc]

I am new to TDR. I joined so I can use all your guidance that I can. I have 1996 2500 4x4 with(bad idea) automatic. I am currently going through the tedious task of acquiring the parts to convert to 5-speed. First things first, the engine needs serious work. Have put in #8 TST plate, removed exhaust. I want to remove silencer ring. Can someone tell me how?????? The star wheel question will be another day. Thank you Marc

Welcome aboard! The silencer ring is easily removed by taking off the turbo hose on the inlet to the turbo, and using a flat blade screwdriver to remove the snapring that holds it in place. Takes about 5 minutes. Save it though, the turbo whine can be anoying when towing. BTW the Auto is only a bad idea while it is stock. Get yourself the proper setup for the auto and its not abad idea anymore .
