General Description

The exhaust system must be free of leaks, binding, grounding, and excessive vibrations. In addition to inspecting the exhaust system at the scheduled maintenance interval, inspect the exhaust system if the noise level of the vehicle has increased. Replace parts that show leakage, wear, or damage, with genuine Freightliner parts.

These conditions are usually caused by loose, broken, or misaligned clamps, brackets, or pipes. If any of these conditions exist, check the exhaust system components and alignment. Align or replace as necessary. For alignment or adjustment instructions, see of the Walk-In Van Chassis Workshop Manual, or take the vehicle to an authorized Freightliner dealer.
