Didn't have time to clean up the truck, but took a picture anyway.

Nice, Hunt4Fun. That looks awesome! (Love that garage, too. That's the way one should look!)
Today I just drove Clyde to work. I'm getting a lot of hesitation off the line and I feel like I'm having to give him more pedal to get any power. My idle is a little rough and my stupid marker lights shorted out and took my passenger side headlight with them. Haha. Hopefully new plugs and some fuel injector cleaner will help a little bit with the running problems. As for the lights, I think early morning condensation on the wiring connections is the culprit. I hadn't heat shrink wrapped them yet, so that will just take a new fuse probably. Oh well. Stay Ford!

Oh yeah! And thanks for the help on all my exhaust questions, everybody. I'll probably have something new on Clyde by this weekend.

That looks much better. Why did you take the tail pipe off?

I have never heard of 80% tint. Here we have 50 30 15 5 or 35 20 5 depending on brand.

big mistake.... Flowmasters sound good from outside.. but in the cab the amount of drone is rediculous. thats the next thing im changing on my truck. after a year and a half of having this truck im just completely fed up finally.

I'm glad you decided to get rid of the dronemaster. Chambered mufflers suck. What are you replaceing it with?

EDIT: I just saw your going with Cherry Bomb. Thats cool. Which ones are you getting. I would go with the longer ones.

Guessing he means 20%. 80% tinted. 20% VLT. :confused:

Reminds me I still need to get my full windshield done in 35%

I love my 5% all around. Glad I did it myself too. Turned out great and much cheaper.

I always thought having that fender emblem that says flareside would look good on the tail gate. Get some of the F150 fender emblems from an EB that don't have XL or XLT on them. That would look cool.

Your probably right. Thats what I was thinking too. If your going to tint the windshield I would go with 50%. I think windshild tint is illegal in every state. It will be obvious that you've tinted it. Besides, I would rather be able to see at night.

FireBlue 06-29-2010 02:46 AM

HAHA, yeah it is 20% tint, but i figured it might not be an international nomenclature so i decided to express it in terms of how much light it blocks out, so i said 80% :)

Im thinking either 50% or 35% on windshield. I know its illegal but so is my 5%. I don't think 50% or 35% will be that bad at night. If I have a problem seeing then ill pull it off.

This is where I got the idea of a tinted windshield.:9

It had fake duels out of the muffler, the back of the muffler rusted out long ago. The PO lost the right side, and after 18 months of owning it I finely got up there and took off the other, that was just hanging there to.
The muffler is under the bed so other than the huge hole in the back its still safe.

im thinking bout going with a 18" long glass pack or a vortec muffler. but ill probably go dual glasspacks as a complete redo of my exhaust system to have it ready for the long tube headers im gonna have on my engine build.
