Sweet...

Sounds nothing like mine though, but it's still sweet. Probally only cause he has mufflers and i don't.

Col. good job. That is an awsome truck with an awsome motor.

I just placed it in the 48-60 section as well.


No problem at all.


To give an idea of how bad I have the I-6 bug, I spent the entire day, literally, trying to put together a corrupt file, finally Col Flashman resent the files and bam, it worked great. Needless to say, the wife was not happy.

That sounds awesome. I just got a rig with the 6 in it and would like it to sound better. What system did you use? What mufflers? What size pipe? Thanks for all the help.

That's not bad at all. I was looking at $6000 for a rebuilt stock 7.3 IDI. Just came back from huntin, and the more I drive this truck, the more I like it. Thanks for sharing a great truck with us Col.
