Krazee Matt keeps telling me about the turbo whine (negligible) but the whoosh from the wastegate is way more noticeable. Thanks for asking.

Am I an *******? That guy posted up asking (kind of) about the turn signal and I did everything but answer his question and berate him for asking like a dolt. WTF... I think I'm just letting the winter depression get to me

You did come off a little douchey with your replies




Snagged some expensive side steps for really cheap. They aren't the ones meant for our trucks, so some fabrication will be needed. But they were cheap

As you can see they contact the doors before they fold all the way up

All that will change with IH bellowed up pipes, Garrett GTP38 R and a wicked wheel, won't it now?

Still, with the mods the throttle response is noticeable.
Thanks, Matt.

Check, got it. I have a (not so) nice tattoo on my RR quarter panel that will need some attention too. Who the hell plants a telephone pole in the middle of a parking lot! (And who doesn't remember it when backing out, this guy, that's who!) Junk shop/T shirt shop in Cave City KY got me not paying attention.

You can always post the same thing in that thread so Larry doesn't make a voodoo doll of you and stick pins in you.

Did a filter bowl rebuild today in rain and 45 degrees. No pics since it was raining, and who really wants to get their camera doused in diesel fuel. Not this guy. Glad that's over and thankfully no leaks now.

Well actually, during the original mod I made a few mistakes (none of which were life threatening, but I was not totally pleased) a curse handed to me by my fraternal Grandfather and his son (Germans, you can understand, Tom) about three months ago I found another 08+ rear bumper and I soon realized that the first one I had was aftermarket.
OMG, heretics, apostasy, dogs and cats living together.

I will share pics of the aftermarket bumper and it's foibles when it's all said and done. I have to admit that Michael (Living Large) has been inspirational in my quest. His pursuit of pristine makes me strive for better.

I never backed in to a fire hydrant or telephone pole...in the EX.
