    There is a link to my subwoofer box build in that thread.

    The short time i had icons on my truck the ride improvement was very noticable compared to OME. I also gained a good amount of droop. I never sent them out to be rebuilt, i don't know if I will, i might pass them on to alex if he can give me what i payed for them which is a good deal IMO. I eventually want to overhaul my suspension and i might end up wanting more than just basic icon coilovers.

    Weight will help for sure, my 885s ride alot softer now than they did before any armor.

    That is what I will go with. I am going to post my 265/65/17 Michelin LTX M/S2 for sale soon. If I can spend that cash on the truck and not the wedding, I will be stoked. But gotta run it by the other half first.

    It's to bad I am late raising cash cuz I really wanted (here comes the jokes) Denis' 3rd member with the locker. But that is gone.

    Im at the point of making a 1/4 wall DOM driveshaft with stainless spicer universals. I cant go one peice till i find out why. if the one peice snaps at over 2000 my tcase is gone along with the transmission. Ive had it happen towing.
    I have always ran mine dumped before the rear axle. It doesnt get in the way of the axle when you flex. Water is not a big deal many run exhaust like this and never have issues. I've had water up too mid door idling and it was fine. Choose your muffler wisely a chambered muffler will drone in the cab like no other! A magnaflow like mine will not drone. Mine is raspy do too my build but its not that bad under 3000. When I hold 5500-7000 is when it is pretty loud, but my loud and your loud are far from close.

    You already has coilovers...



    My nice, relaxing weekend with the family just turned into a shit show. Came downstairs after showering to find water running down from the light fixture... I left access ports to get at any plumbing I did and all my stuff is dry so I'm stuck tearing open ceilings in my nice, new kitchen to troubleshoot the old plumbing :mad:

    That sucks .
    My other half was showering the other day and I was in the basement working, had a small puddle on the floor . Luckily there is a closet that butts up against the shower pipes. I have to cut a hole and see where it's leaking from.
    We have 2 showers so it's not to bad .

    John if you have one of those Simmons anti scald valves (the one valve does both) remove the trim cover and try moving the diverter valve from tub to shower. It is very common to have a leak at the diverter. You will get a little spray as you change position and sometimes it will continue to flow not just a spray and the whole valve is rebuildable. Forgot to mention that the water has to be on.

    Same here, we're lucky we have a 2nd shower. I have an access port behind the shower so I can get at all the pipes (I did all that plumbing) and everything is dry. It's leaking somewhere mid-stream. My guess is one of the old pipes is corroded and finally let water through it.

    Right now, I just drained down the entire upstairs, shut the electricity off in the kitchen and pulled the fixture out. Next step, cut open the drywall and see what I need to replace.

    Good luck with your leak!

    Mike if the water is a continuous flow then I agree if it stopped or slowed after the shower was off the I would look at your valving also

    BayStateTaco,
    I have the aero turbine xl which is strait thru design similarly to magnaflows, just insulated with different materials. I always wondered if it was because of where they mounted the exhaust, when I checked it out at the shop I noticed it was much more forward than where the original sat. When I asked they said it made no difference. After a year I'm growing more skeptical.
