Yep. I'm leaving toward the end of the month. I just have the alternator to install. I should be getting the correct pulley today. I'll take it by O'Reilly's and have them buzz it on. I'm keeping the old one as a spare because it works, just the bearings squeak sometimes. Now I just need a toolbox and a trailer.
I'm getting in the 20s on the highway. Mixed driving is about 14.

Sooooo, I caved, was out getting all the things I need for another job (steering box), and fluids for a long overdue change. Chatted with the parts guy, turns out a K&N air filter was only $40... and the pipe was dirt cheap.... Guess what I'm doing today... Making my neighbors hate me ever more, that's right.

So I hoped under the truck to get the measurements for my muffler, and was greeted by this.
Thinking I might just remove the back end of the exhaust and get an elbow bracket and just have it coming out the side where the muffler is.

Man that sucks!
When I bought my truck all the exhaust parts were there, but it was rusted off before and after the muffler. I replaced most of it, only to have one of the connections rust off a few years later. Ended up tying the parts off with some rope and driving home straight piped and emptying right after the y-pipe. Damn was that loud!

mine started off as duels ending at back of transfer case and didn't like the sound so y-ed them together there and ran out in front of rear tire. to me it's not loud until about 2500 rpm, does echo in town at 4 am, if pulling sounds alot like 60's muscle cars.
