lol im educated just takes to much time for all that addin in stuff............ and it aint hard im just lazy kinda and i really dont know what im doin

 

haha i hear you there about the lazy stuff....i just got done doing a muffler job that shoulda taken an hour...ended up taking 2 days...

 

exactly what tools will i need to do the job

 

For the silencer ring? All i used was a single flat head screwdriver.

 

what about to get the boot off

 

Mine was just held on by stock hose clamp type clamps, and I used the same screw driver to get those loose too. (note the punctuation fred )

 

OUCH!!

 

Are you the same johndeere that is a car salesman for Honda?

 

yep that would be me

 

Just removed my silencer ring. Took all of 5 mins and I did not even have to get mad at anything. Have not started or driven the truck yet to see if there is anything noticible.

 

well im waitin on you to test it out and tell me how it is before i do it

 

ok i did it... took a total of 3 minutes. but didnt seem to make a difference at all. would u notice it more while your drivin?

Well, I was going to give you a line of B.S. of what a huge difference it made, but I see that you have already done yours and can't tell any difference.

Removal of the ring is Absolutely, Unequivocally, 110% B.S. in my thoughts. I can tell no difference what so ever, from normal driving all the way to driving like a 16 year old kid. The only extra "whine" I got was when I stuck the diesel nozzle in the tank and I "whined" about what that cost me.

 

If you replace the baffled torque tube with a pipe you'll notice the difference and that's no B.S. Happy New Years

 

Ok, I'm up for trying that. Someone posted a pic earlier in this thread of where to find the silencer ring and how to remove it.

I am not familiar with what your calling the "baffled torque tube", anyone have a pic of that and even a pic of what kind "pipe" was installed. Basically, a how to for dummies guide. Thanks.
