So your advise is to leave it totally stock?

 

Timbrens! Sorry believers. I do regret these puppies only because the unloaded ride is really harsh and uncomfortable. I should have gone with the air bags, at least then I could soften the unsprung ride a bit.

 

Heck no.........It does go on and on...But in the end...it will turn out to be one sweet truck...

 

That would be like asking the Cowboy not to go to the Rodeo........ Just understand this is roughly akin to drinking, if you don't control it, it can consume you......... Drinking is just a slower progression.

 

Wide low profile fat tire's running on 20's or 22's. You think that a 70 or 75 follows rutts. At least your not worring about ruining the rim in the rough stuff on 70-75 profile tires. Seen a few trucks with bent or damaged rims from running them.

Stacks are noisy for guys that live inside them like 8-16hrs a day. Even my rattlin VP drives me crazy on a 20 hr drive that seem to do every once and while.

Next worst mod, is anything from BD

 

Your just getting old Mike....

 

Thanks Dave, I might be old, but at least I'm not looking old yet. Must be the fancy hair cut.

Saw a young guy last week with a bent 20in rim that was bent so bad the tire had a slow leak. Then completely ruined the tire as he drove on it for awhile. Had some fancy tire locks on the rim. Took us about 2hrs to change out the tire, all on a remote gravel road, in a snow storm and at -28 deg's C. Lucky I had a floor jack in my truck

 

Actually I'm kind of impressed at how few Mods were regretted or even really frowned upon. You guys have got to be holding back on this topic...

 

On the 12V there are many mods that do more positive than negative..All the mods I did where of benefit....Can't think of any mod I did that I regret..

Even the laser cut DV...Which worked the best on my small 175 pump...I tried all combo of DV and the lasers work the best...But you have to really thighten up the AFC to control the fueling..

LC in 215 pumps...Bad news...They fuel to hard and smoke like heck...This is one mod on the 12v with 215 that is a negative..

In the CR world that is a different case...Seen alot of mods go on then removed....Darn computers...

 

Lots of drone. Twins helped quiet it down a bit, with with a single 66mm, it was horrendous on the highway. Even ear plugs wouldn't make it better.

 

That's one thing I never had a problem with was drone....But I also had a muffler...But without....ow....my hearing...

 

I would have never even have given a thought to the sound or droning. thanks for the heads up.

 

If you ever decide to install stacks on a diesel truck...You have to have a muffler...My regular cab sounded the same with stacks as it did with regular exhaust...No drone at all at highway speeds...Just don't put them 10 feet above the cab...

Just a few inchs above the cab...You could veiw pics of my truck with stacks..

 

Never put anything but a triple disc torque convertor in, following with a good valve body that matches! Also domt waste your time with a Edge power puck, unless you just want to blow allot of smoke.

By the way the wife and I love my 8" stack!

 

Hetes another couple..never put any discount auto store batteries in! Put good ones in like interstate.
Edge easy was also a waste of money. Your better off saving up for a better power setting power programmer, like tst,quadzilla or edge drag comp.
