Drone is pretty bad all the time. My helmholtz resonator was tuned for the previous setup. I didn’t consider the massive difference the heads and cam would make on the exhaust.. that j-pipe is really useless now. Lol. I have learned to deal with the noise. Only thing that is a bit annoying is, it sounds like I’m really getting into it, just taking off from a stop, normal ~20% throttle. So everyone thinks I’m racing them.
I have a little 18” magnaflow muffler, and the cats in the ARH longtubes.. no other muffler or resonator. (Other than the helmholtz, that’s completely mis-tuned now)..

I run a muffler that increases the noise instead of decreases it, works great with longtubes. I’m happy that everybody thinks I’m racing them because I usually am. Gotta have lane choice at every damn light.

Never heard of the red head product. Might need to look into that brand.

Hands down one of the best. To hell with the big box “reman” unit’s that shit the bed after 6-8mo.

My factory box finally gave out. Yes it’s had some slop for a few years but all my trucks have been that way so no biggie I’m used to driving with a wondering wheel.

These guys are in Washington and do a hands down great job. All of my jeep, Branco, truck buddies run these boxes and all sweat by them.

That’s the reason I went with them.

I’d say the feel of the steering is better than most new vehicles. That still have a box and not that electric rack shit.

It is night and day better driving even only putting a mile or so on it so far.

Yep I’ve heard nothing but great things about RedHead steering boxes over the years. Definitely not cheap though.

I’ve heard good things about these as well. It’s on my list, when needed, upgrade to this.. but $$$..

I was washing my Tahoe today and a neighbor drove up, who has been admiring my baby for some time, and really wanted to buy it. Loves the look, condition and sound and has dropped by on numerous occasions as I was working on it - including when I dropped the upgraded engine in it. He really pushed but I said no she is staying with me until I leave this world - better not be too soon.

Thank you. She definitely moves better than me.

Hood he doesn’t take that as a suggestion!

Drove up to the pick and pulls yesterday and really underestimated how much time I would need to find parts. The first one I went to didn't have anything, and was in line checking out at the second one until the 3rd one was closed. All of the nnbs trucks had the engines pulled already,but I found these fuel railson a gen 3 intake. I found a nnbs intake without the rails for 40, but I guess I have to go back to KC to get it. Found a nicer set of fans but I already took these ones out.
Sorry about all the Newport butts, been smoking in the garage when it's cold. Lol

I need to do at least the pitman and idler arms while I have the engine out. I should probably figure out a way to get a redhead too.

Had no parking brakes, which I need for this month's RMV inspection. Adjuster on passenger side was all the way in, so I adjusted best I could. The driver's side barrel adjuster was also all the way in, but I could not get it to click and move. I have enough parking brakeage to hold it when I take my foot off the regular brake, but it moves if I give a little gas to get above idle. I plan to stop by and grab a set of parking brake hardware on the way home tonight and see if I can get it to hold at 1,000-1,300 RPM.

Got a set of tool chest magnetic labels from Ebay.
They had two sizes. I got the ones that were 0.75" high (for when I get old - LOL).
They shipped fast from CA and they look good. Plastic coated and accurately trimmed.

I like them!

I only put a couple on before leaving for work this morning...
There are 88 magnet labels in the set for $47.

You're fortunate to see NNBS trucks in the UPulls. We have 5 Upulls around Denver and there might be 1 or 2 in one of the lots. Plenty of NBS, though.

There were so many parts gone off of them it was hard to tell what they even were, lol. The newest on was placed like October 13th, so I was hoping maybe the intake was laying around. I thought about grabbing brakes and rotors, but then I would need new wheels.

Boost charger installed what a great idea and great installation video.30 minutes tops install great buy

Boost charger installed what a great idea and great installation video.30 minutes tops install great buy

I must have missed the sweet-spot on my home charger the other night and left for work with 40% charge to start the day... So, that Boost charger will be really handy, being able to rapid charge with 15W!

Mine came yesterday. Super fast delivery. Projected date was Monday. Boost is still running the 15% off through tomorrow, if anyone is on the fence... I think it is a great deal for $124.

Trying to get ready for inspection the last two nights with freaking parking brake not holding tight, so no time for Boost charger install just yet. I have had calipers/rotors off 4 or 5 times in the last 48 hours. P-brake will hold against idle, but not if I touch the gas (like they might try at the MA RMV inspection).

One adjuster was seized, so I replaced the P-brake hardware (adjusters, pill and retainer clip) intermediate cable to get more adjustment out of it last night and still not really grabbing!

I picked up the rear cables from NAPA, but I'll take it to my trusty, friend-of-the-family mechanic in the morning to see what he can do with them. Maybe he won't even need the rear cables and have some old-school trick, but I figure after two solid nights of getting nowhere and the inspection being due Monday... It will be worth the labor to have him just do it tomorrow.

I have 2 band clamps I found split on my muffler and one of the rubber isolator hangers needs replacing before it snaps. Working on that tonight.

The rear cables are super easy to do. Mine took me 30 minutes and I was pokey.

The rear cables are super easy to do. Mine took me 30 minutes and I was pokey.

Getting the connecting clip between the front cable and intermediate was fun, but I managed to get it off. Getting the rusty nut off the equalizer took a little patience and effort, but got that too. If I can at least get the cables done, the mechanic can futz with adjustments tomorrow and hopefully get an inspection done by Tuesday morning.

P.S.: My 04 has no rubber plug/access slot to access adjustments from the rear like most YouTube videos show... The only way to make any adjustments is having the rotors off.
