Lol don't tell me that... That'll be the next thing I "have" to do to the truck. Perfect timing too... I have to get the radiator re-cored and put in electric fans anyways... Hmmmmm heard the Hamilton big stick is good

A lot of people say that a cam isn't needed, but it doesn't mean you can't reap the benefits way before it's "needed" plus it gives the truck a little bit of an attitude, makes it unique.

It sounds like a mix of a cummins and a Detroit . The idle is slightly lopey, no where near a gas jobs cam lope. Just has abit of a distinct rattle, you walk by and can just tell something is different about the truck.
