    FL70, 3126 muffler

    I had an fl90 3 or 4 years ago, the waist gate on the turbo was locked open. Found one using a cat dealer and was around $800.00. Another idea is that truck parts place in KY, can't remember the name but some one can chime in and give it to us. Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
