Nice to know u know what size glass pack?? And it was single exhaust not dual? Breaking them loose pulling 12K damn u have a tuner??

It surprised me the first time as well. I will see what I can do about the video part. I currently have a air charge temperature sensor that is malfunctioning and I can't find it

Yeah, I do. I have a lawn business and use it daily to pull the 16 foot trailer with 2 zero turn mowers and occasionally the small tractor used for landscape/lawn maintenance. Can't even tell it's behind me. We also farm, and i have hauled 11, 5x6 Hay Bales(weigh around 1800-2000 lbs. each) on our 25 foot gooseneck trailer with it as well. Definitely feel it back there but does a great job pulling! I'll work on getting a video for ya.

So that's atleast 12k minus the trailer weight.

Trailer weights around 6-7 thousand. It's a 25ft. (20 ft. deck, 5 ft. dove with fold over ramps. tandem dual 10k axles.) picture of it hooked to the truck(loaded with square bales) on my profile in my garage.

i love it, i really do...but i'm thinking of adding a glass pack to tone it down alittle. i've had it like this almost a year..i love the sound and attention it gets and trust me it gets looks from all around. i think mostly because they are looking for a lifted pickup and dont expect an excursion lol


mine is my daily driver and i've had no muffler for about 8k miles. even with my grandma in the back she doesnt complain and you can carry a conversation just fine and hear the radio at a low level without issue.

I actually was watching those videos of it on youtube before i did mine. I do like the sound of yours. Mine doesn't sound quite like that i don't think, but haven't really heard it out of the cab yet or driveby.

That's good to know. What size glasspack are u thinking of going down to? I was watching those videos and that sound is sick!! I was driving behind a truck last week and the sound was bad *** but didn't sound like a diesel so I was thinking maybe V10 it was a super duty 250 or 350

i'm thinking a 3" in/out and maybe 18-20" or so long for the glass pack. i have a 26" on my 5.4 expedition and i like it..nice and mellow. i think as i get older(i know..i'm 22 lol) alittle more mellow might be better? idk every time i think of toning it down i hop in the truck and floor it and those thoughts go out the window haha
