awesome, I'll look into it. Thanks. Will that fit directly into where the stock muffler is size wise? I guess I will just take it to a muffler shop.

yes

Just when I think that I'm good with the stock configuration, you assholes start throwing out part numbers and make me start craving mods all over again.

Damn you, TYF (it's a love-hate thing). :hmm:

Ok so I got another question... I was driving the other day, about 40 mph, and decided to try and go around someone (extremely impatient and have minor road rage) the truck was kinda pathetic. It felt like it should have down shifted one more gear. Is this the torque management that causes it to feel like a slug?

I noticed today after towing my golf cart up to the lake house when I got out to unload it I heard a ticking noise loudest in the drivers side wheel well area. I drove home and got out to try and get it on a video to post here and it wasn't doing it anymore... is that normal.

Ok I changed my belts and tensioners yesterday, installed an airaid Jr at lunch and got the windows tinted after work. Got pulled over on the way home lol. Not for the tint though. I made an illegal left turn somewhere. There were two cops driving a crew cab white F150 that you could not at all tell was a cop car. Couldn't see lights on it or anything. It was a weird experience. He snuck up to the car like I was a serial killer. Then I gave him my license and a registration from the car I traded in to get the tahoe. I told him that and he was like ok that's fine I'm just going to go run everything I'll be right back. Him and the other cop walked behind the car and talked and giggled for about 10 seconds then he brought me my stuff back and said have a nice day and be safe. Super nice guy, just a little strange.

Probably an unmarked tac car or something used for drug/auto theft stuff. Lots of them running around my neck of the woods, used by the impact teams. Their job most of the time is to make as many traffic stops as possible looking for stuff that's out of place. Glad he was cool with you though. They probably cleared your license over the radio real quick behind the car to check for warrants. Clearly, you were clean. ;)

Gotta get tint on mine, come to think of it. R1 pads/rotors on the way, and a new evap solenoid since mine took a crap and threw a CEL. Fun times.

That's pretty funny because where I am from the only cop vehicles are F150/250s and Sierra 2500s. After moving last year the crown vics still catch me off guard while I look for pickups lol

Just did some stuff to the hoe today and yesterday I got a road force balance and an alignment done. Rides much smoother. Today fedex brought my Wade vent visors and I plasti dipped the peeling steering wheel trim.
