160 horsepower out of a 6.2 what are you looking to gain with no mufflers beside noise? My opinion leave the mufflers so your truck is not annoying. You can run straight pipes its just going to be loud, backpressure is not an issue.
user ID equipmentpartssales had them listed in ePay but I do not see them listed curently. Send them an e-mail with a part number for it and they will look for it I did that with a tail lamp lens assy. Try a GM dealer.

With the white smoke it appears you are getting fuel into at least some of the cylinders or maybe all of them. See if you are getting 12 volts to all the glow plugs if you are and you know your fuel is good there could be a concern with your base engine compression being low I.E. worn out engine.

GPAPPY: When I picked up my 1009 the guy said he is only there at the Lansing yard 2x a week and depending on other auctions elsewhere in the Michigan, Ind, Ohio area he might only be there once every other week.
