    On a serious note i value the people that sacrifice for this great place on this day. my father had many people pass to protect him for me to live now. much respect to all present and past for this gift. now, back to the bbq. hope y'all are happy and safe.

    Mine wouldn’t light up either but I just needed to take some pliers and add some pressure to the t tap I used. So far so good. Good to hear they are fixing it.

    Shit bolted onto other shit, and junk.
    I had an issue on my boost gauge. I went through all the test and came down to a bad extension so I ordered a new one. It came with a different plug they switched to...sucked. So I called and they sent me an adapter, but the connectors still needed some massaging. It works but I don’t wiggle anything behind the dash.

    I know I'm about 4 pages late to the exhaust topic, working around the house this weekend. This is my new exhaust set up. Sound is good. The decibel level is a little high for my liking. No drone either, you just hear the engine purring. I did mock up for it and had a coworker weld it.

    What kind of resonator is that up front?

    Smooth and clean install.

    Definitely like those hangers!

    Nice bikini model too. :D

    Lmao!!! Coworkers shop. I gave him messaurments for the hangers and he was if you do it like this it will be better. So, we went that way.
    The resonator is from Amazon. I think the brand was Total flow. 2.5 ID inlet 2.5 OD outlet. Then I put an adapter to 3." On the back side of the resonator.

    Hey guys so i've finally finished all the supporting mods to go to a smaller pulley. I was planning on 2.5, but now im like why not smaller? Say 2.2 or 2.3? What are your thoughts?

    It is a daily driven mud truck that gets the piss beat out of it all the time.

    Anything less than a 2.3 probably requires @Athlaos expertise. There are some tight tolerances near the bearing. He is 2.1" I believe at 8mpg and 2 belts/400miles.

    hit up smooth flow! make sure you have a 69" and 69.5" belt on standby. 2.3 is supposed to use a 69. for me i used a 69.5

    Not if you are using the Roush tensioner. A pulley wrap should not be needed.

    Try buying it from Amazon. Get the LFP 50mm double bearing roller. You would be in a much better position to play and to utilize the strength of the Roush setup at that point. Not to mention things will smooth and stabilize out due to the increase in tensioner strength.
