Here's a practice test for you if you need to study up...

Most of my aftermarket wiring is blue, I think .

I actually had trouble on two and 1/2 of those slides.

^^ that is the thinking, If I lose this job because of this I will be devastated, I just want to safety guy to lay out 50 24 gauge wires or so and I can pick the color of them.

I can only imagine the lawsuit brought by someone that couldn't tell the difference between the hot wire and the ground.
O Tyler and his wires.....

What rob said when I worked for Western Electric. All of the millions of wires in a telephone office are color coded. Slate with one white does not work well with green with one white.

Well I went back to the testing facility today, took the test on the computer style look in thingy my jigger and missed one, and on the paper chart I miss one to, so they spoke with the DR. and passed me, it does not look like I am going to get canned over this ordeal... My stress level was through the ROOF.

I am now going to enjoy Chicago and go to a Cubs game.

Well, someone had a little time with a pipe bender and a desire for stacks. Too bad they didn't make them a little larger diameter to they'd fit better with the truck.

They probably work just fine... more than 4" total between 2 pipes.!
And I actually like them better than the big old curvey things that you see on some duallies.

Congrats Max
Good Luck Scott

They have plenty of internal diameter, but they just look a little small. When I first saw it, I had to double check to make sure it was a Cummins. Actually, the first time I didn't even realize they were stacks, I thought it was just chrome trim up the front of the bed.
