88manche2wd Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Hello All, I have a 1988 2WD 4.0 long bed. Last weekend I changed out the exhaust replacing with stock parts by Walker. The tail pipe at about mid section has two metal rods that attach to the rubber hanger that is attached to the body with another metal rod (x2). My problem is on my truck the metal rods that attach to the truck body are missing. I found a photo of the same exact truck that is in stock condition and best I can tell is the rods are attached to a plate that might be bolted to the body. I am not seeing any broken welds on the body so I am guessing they are bolted. Does anyone know the part number for this hanger? Where to find one? Anyone have a better picture so I can have something more to go off when looking for a replacement? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

fiatslug87 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 That hanger just bolts through the cross brace, two bolts/nuts. Probably a junk yard item unless someone on here has an extra or is parting out a truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just getting parts and info at this point. I did do the exhaust but not anywhere near done. Will get started on that build thread soon.

I am just doing stock build. I used walker exhaust parts and replaced from the y-pipe to the tail pipe. Not done until I get the tail pipe hanger and correct bolts for the cat. I might have to rig something until I can find a oem tail pipe hanger or have one fab. I went with a cat before knowing that my truck had the resonator. I figured that out after finding a download of the parts catalog online this week. I ran the truck in place with the setup and was running fine. It's light years ahead as the prior owner had the wrong muffler piped in and everything was being help up with baling wire. It did not even have a tail pipe. It was loud and not producing any real back pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 It's always nice to see what it looked like and the transfermation it has made. Walker is the same stuff I used when I redid mine, albeit mine didn't have bailing wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchamakalit Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I just put the full walker kit on my truck. I must say I am really impressed with the improved driveability. I have a 92 parts truck that might have the hanger on it yet. Ill look today and see what I have. Btw your only one post away from the classifieds now.
