I just got my 97 C3500 today.. I know the turbo has the big silencer tube, how do I remove that? What do I plug the hole with? What have you fellas and gals done? Thanks!
 
Freeze plug is what I was thinking, what did you use Gerald?
 
Well when I figure out how to block mine off, Ill sell ya a spare! :lol:
 
I cut the end of the tube off and used that to plug the hole and it's free.

Lots of ways to solve the problem, I like the "cup" style freeze plug p/n in part point was maybe $3, and the "rim" of the cup is a sturdy place to clamp to,& won't crush if you put a lot of oomph on the clamps worm drive screw.
