    My dad retired and then got a part time job about a decade later as a landscaper. Lol

    My good friend Frank retired and now he and I are selling 4.5 acres of used boat parts, maybe a quarter million parts idk. Lol

    I became disabled, sat on a couch for 5 years, and am now busier than ever. Lol

    Are you really retired?

    Little bit of this and that
    First step of paint matching my grill. 2 coats of primer so far, I'll spray 1 more and let it sit overnight.

    Crapola again. Just went out to start changing out bad rear camera cable. Birds go me again so firs thin in the wash it off, will do it myself only part of hood and left front fender. Just checked tracking my replacement cable from Crutchfield 2nd day air arrived at UPS air facility 20 miles away so not to night. So wash truck and then finish removing the bad cable and get ready to install new one when ever. Gives me a chance to to clean up some of my wiring under the truck.

    Yeah 15-20HP. We'll see what the butt dyno says on Monday. :notsure:

    Edit: That's with a base tune, but you can get it tuned further for a littlw more supposedly. Figured i'd give it a try. Doubt i'll ever get a protune for it. Maybe if I added a CAI down the road.

    I'm pleased with my AFE intake. Those dyno charts they use are legit. Makes a good sound paired to my Mbrp exhaust.

    I can definitely tell by the gears I am in on the hills. Might regear down the road but it was not as bad as I expected. I would say the braking distance change is worse. New pads coming soon.
