    Crap!!!!!!

    Well yall on my way home from church today headed up 176 in the rain, I see a very large puddle coming up(small lake) and had just enough time to grab the steering wheel with both hands before hitting it at about 45 mph. Deep enough to all but stop me dead. So I'm thinking dang that was a doozie. Then I begin to notice a deeper than normal grunt coming from the engine bay on my deleted truck. Just enough to say something isn't right. So after about 10 mins. The skies part and I stop in the now blazing heat to check out the truck. And as I'm about to give up I peer at the clamp connecting the exhaust elbow to the down pipe from the turbo, low and behold the bolt similar to a t bolt on other models is gone. And the exhaust has separated creating a leak. So my question is has anyone else had a freak failure like this?, and where to get the correct clamp replacement or bolt replacement at a good price in a hurry. The local auto parts stores while good around here have no t bolt style clamps at all.

    Truck stop, or equipment, like a john deere, or case dealer. I am spoiled I have a cummins facility 20 minutes from work, and cummins techs on speed dial.
    Believe it or not, try a tractor supply too.

    in a real pinch, weld a nut inside the loop and use a long bolt or threaded rod. Short term.

    Thanks to @Polaraco, I got one last time I needed it, and now keep a spare on the shelf.
