There is a slight drone, but mainly seems to be when going up hill in the 65-70 range, slower or faster and your pretty much good. You can hear it, but its not annoyingly loud.

the drone comes in and out depending on how much throttle your giving, you ease up a little and the whole sound dissapears, give it a some gas and its back

We have a huge storm moving in soon. I wanted enough done tonight to get my fancy car in the garage.

I had a ******* ***** of a time trying to connect the last 1/3 of the stock exhaust. I gave up and put a dump on the end. I was still worried it would heat things up.

Uhhggg, test drive sucked. Sounded like shit. I need to finish routing the exhaust. The whole cab vibrated at times.

Am I getting old? Sigh.... I never thought a V8 would be too loud. Back at it tomorrow.

Quick dump added.

I did not like this before the test drive. As I suspected after the drive the sway and axle were too hot.

Shit... I'm sore from lifting, tired from work... can't complain about the wife, shes still blond, hot, and with a PHD. More tomorrow.

Just stitched together the cut apart tail pipe. I'm still not good at welding.

It's very quiet at idle, screams when truck is floored. No drone now.

Stupid ***** at Pohanka that tried to fix my windshield 2x. Its leaking again.... I fixed it myself since I don't think I could keep my cool if I have to go back a 5th time.

I traced the water after spraying a high pressure stream of water on the edges of the glass. Then I pulled out the silicon sealant

Shit... lets follow the stream....

I pulled the trim to the side and applied a ton of clear silicon sealant. Then I superglued the trim down since moving it out of the way caused it to stick up.
