A mechanism for a vehicle includes a valve body haivng a valving element pivotally mounted to a telescopically movable tube moveable to a first position upon movement of the dump body to a raised position to direct exhaust from the engine to the muffler. With the dump body in the lowered position, the valving element is in a second position to direct exhaust to the dummp body. The valving element interacts with an upper stop plate when the tube moves upward and interacts with a lower stop assembly when the tube moves downward.
