my wife is the reason i have my truck to... we had a 26' camper, but my bronco wouldn't pull it, so when i found this truck and said, "it'l pull our camper easilly" she said "ok, go ahead and get your truck"... but, i think she was scheming all along, cause within six months we had upgraded to a brand new 28' 5ver...! oh well, it's only money...! there's a pic of my mule and her load in the "post a pic of your truck" thread if anybody wants to see her... and i have some more pics in my gallery...

Well, I finally got the exhaust installed, for now. Have a little bit of rubbing/vibration, guess I didn't bend enough. So once the weather clears up (got about an inch of snow last night and its comming down hard now) I'll pull it and go to town with the sawzall and crowbar, I'm gonna get medievil on its ...
I must say it sounds pretty good, other than the vibration. I did make a slight change to the original system. Couldn't really see a point of going from a 4" outlet on the downpipe, necking down for the cat, then going back up to 4" after the cat for the rest of the system. So I went to the local trucking supply shop and bought a 5' piece of 4". Out of the downpipe straight to the muffler (I know, should have gone straight pipe but the wife doesn't like it too loud, and after all she bought it).
Thanks for all the kind words about the wife, I guess I'll keep her around for a while.
