Also, the more you use it for rugged and heavy-duty tasks, the more stress you add to its systems and components. The exhaust system, given its location and task, is among those parts of your ride that are prone to a lot of damaging elements. The original-equipment exhaust system can last for five to seven years before it starts to rot or show signs of failure. To extend the life of your Ford F-250 Super Duty exhaust system and avoid more serious exhaust problems, it would be wise to do troubleshooting as soon as first sign of problem appears.
Exhaust leaks
Exhaust leaks are something you must take seriously as they can affect not only the vehicle's performance but your health as well. Leaks are usually colorless and odorless, but they allow carbon monoxide to escape, and this gas can be lethal. If it finds its way to the cabin, it can cause dizziness, headaches, and worse, it can kill a person in just a couple of minutes.
Exhaust leaks that originate from the upstream of the muffler usually create a hissing sound and are therefore easier to track. You just have to listen to the sound they create, and you can already determine where the leak is. Sharp and loud exhaust noise indicates a leak that's closer to the engine while an extremely loud noise coupled with popping and cracking is a sign of a manifold gasket leak. A more muted and deeper noise, on the other hand, most probably originates from a loose pipe behind the muffler.
Loud exhaust noise
If you've been hearing loud exhaust noise that seems to be coming from the front or the rear of the vehicle and is coupled with engine backfiring when the gas pedal is depressed, the probable causes for this is either a worn-out muffler or exhaust pipe or a broken or cracked exhaust manifold. Visual inspection is necessary to determine what the culprit is.
Poor fuel economy and power loss
The unexplained drop in fuel economy as well as power loss can be caused by several factors, and one of which is an internal blockage or restriction in the exhaust system. You can troubleshoot this by visually checking the system for crushed or disconnected pipe or by checking intake vacuum or backpressure while the engine is at idle. You should also check for plugged catalytic converter by taking it off and shining a light at one end while peering at the other end. If you aren't able to see the light, then your honeycomb converter is plugged up.
There are two likely reasons for exhaust leaks in a Ford F-250 Super Duty. One is the position of the exhaust system on the vehicle, which makes it almost defenseless from harsh road conditions. This vulnerability causes the vehicle to wear, making it more prone to leaks. The other common cause of leaks is the water vapor produced by the catalytic converter during short trips. The water vapor fails to be eliminated from the exhaust system, causing it to turn back into water. Then, the water does not get hot enough to evaporate. So it just stays in the exhaust, rusting away the pipes.
Noises that can be heard from the exhaust system of a Ford F-250 Super Duty usually mean that there is something wrong with one or more of its components. A roaring sound is indicative of a worn-out muffler, which is the most likely to corrode because of its position. It is the farthest from the engine, making it cold and prone to acidic moisture. Another noise that could be heard from the exhaust system is a hissing sound, which could mean that there is a crack in the exhaust manifold. A chugging sound may be brought about by a blockage in the exhaust system, and a metallic vibration may be due to a loose clamp or something that's touching the exhaust pipe. Lastly, a rattling noise can be caused by a misalignment in the exhaust system.
To know if the muffler already needs replacement, one can examine it for noise or debris. A muffler in good condition should produce little or no noise, and there should only be a very limited amount of debris coming from the inside. A little amount of rust is also fine. But if there is a considerably loud and abnormal noise heard upon shaking the muffler, the muffler needs to be replaced. Cracks and holes on it should also serve as a notice that it needs to go.
