    Good muffler for 6.2

    I run chamber style on my truck. Some people have been surprised it's a diesel because it sounds more like a big block. No drone from the exhaust, more from the intake. But on the highway in 5th it's pretty quiet. YMMV :driver:

    Here are the brackets I used. I did do a little customization for the inner front brackets and drilled holes for the inner rear mounts where the originals bolted to the seat belts... https://corbeau.com/chevrolet-pickup-73-87-drill-seat-brackets/ Next time I'll have to let you know, maybe I...

    Hit the road and had great weekend with great people! Staying just outside Tuscarora State Forest, we had more food, adult beverages than needed and burned a lot of wood! Had great conversations and laughs! Mother Nature tried to dampen spirits but she was unsuccessful!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🥓🥓🥃🥃 #M1010 #cucv

    I like them a lot! Side bolsters hold you in place nicely and the flatter bottom is easy to get in and out of which is nice with a lift. They've softened a little but aren't mushy like the originals. Monday's ride home was 3 1/2 hours of both back roads and some highway and I have no complaint's...

    I've done a few nights here and there since going to MAOF. I was hoping to make the Steel Soldier Rausch Creek event last weekend but ran out of time. I'm planning on being in central PA this coming weekend for 3-4 days and do some down time...

    Decided on a communication method for the truck. Purchased the @midlandusa #mxt575 because it fits neatly in small places and is high powered. We’ll have to see if a external speaker is necessary. New antenna cable came in to replace the magnetic mount. That’s as high as I can get and probably...

    Took a little trip last week logging about 350 miles. My first stop at @abcbrewco in Mechanicsburg, PA on my way to @overlandfestival . Appropriately the gps took me over back roads to event. Parked in a large field and ready to relax! Already meet some great people. A great event put on by...

    What should my speed be with overdrive?!?!?

    Not sure your tach is reading properly at higher rpms... what tach are you running? This is from grimm jeepers. Left is stock (TH400, 4.56, 235/85/16) and right would be with GV engaged ( .78 )... Comparing your rpms at different speeds (35 vs 45) the calculator shows similar rpms, but yours...

    M1009 Battery Disconnect Switch??

    It's a stock photo off the web not my truck. Additionally, with the key removed on the one it would double for theft security.

    M1009 Battery Disconnect Switch??

    Blade switches are exposed, where a battery shut off switch isn't. With rubber boots on the terminals and mounted there is very little chance of shorting. YMMV
