I replaced my truck's rusted out muffler (infosec.pub)

Turns out the rattling was coming from the heatshield of the DPF so I spent a day replacing a part which wasn't even the source of the issue. Well, atleast I've got a new exhaust now and did some underbody rust prevention while I was at it.

I learned so much from replacing things that weren't the problem. In the moment, it's such a a pain but it's taught me a lot and been helpful in the long run.

Sometimes it's the only way to really figure out what's broken.
