Cleaned my banks air ram filter , put in some injector cleaner, bought a scangauge II.
Tomorrow put in all the codes, having a hot start issue, it is not stalling but the idle is very low, looking into dummy plug replacement...fun fun

Swapped my rear blocks chasing a rear vibration and finally found the solution.

That CB install looks amazing! I had such a hard time finding a place to mount in my 06. I finally just put it under the dash right over the transmission hump, however I dont really like it there. My truck has the sunroof and no compartment like yours. Very clean looking truck you have. Congrats
Thanks

You cant be driving around with a chrome CB Warren, good thing you replaced it,
Thats what i thought
The old chrome Uniden was 1 i had stuffed in the closet & wasn't using so i decided to try to put it in, the fit was perfect (after some plastic removal in overhead console) but the look wasn't right. With the thousands of $ ive spent on this truck this wasn't the time to skimp on $100 so i fixed that & put the old Uniden back in the closet

Miles....Now i want to paint my tube's, iam sure that will look great in truck

Are you a railfan?

Huge fan of the D&RGW myself.

Back in the truck. One side (of course the side you see) came out kind of grainy, but i had to go somewhere so i didnt have time to wetsand/respray. Ill get to that another day. Cold pipe ill do another weekend as well. Still looks a hell of a lot better than that damn insulation

It is duplicolor metalcast spraypaint...the color on the cap caught my eye, looked cool. In person it actually looks really good, i followed the ground coat and paint instructions to a T and it came out very smooth and looks awesome actually

I have an extra intake elbow that i am painting as we speak...bored on a rain day lol

Miles, I think blue would have been a better choice, it would match the other hoses
