I'm here! (for about another week and 1/2) I've got the male twin to your rig! He's going to be getting a workout in the next 2 weeks! Headed to Salt Lake City to pick-up a 26 foot enclosed car trailer, then bringing it back home and loading it up with all my stuff and family and then we have a 2 day, 1200 mile, 4 state, 10k+ trip.

Were so excited to get out of this Sh*thole state!

Tye

I'll see ya in Colorado if ya end up there! I got a job in Littleton, a suburb of Denver, making almost double what I'm making here and we'll be living in Castle Rock which is about 1400 feet above Denver which is referred to as the Front Range. I look out my back porch and see Pike's Peak! The cost of living is much cheaper and Diesel was @ $4.36 the other day when I looked.

Sorry about that! I thought your truck was an auto. I have your trucks twin brother!

The tip makes a big difference! It is deeper and throatier. When I 1st put it on, I also straight piped it @ the same time. I made a trip to L.A. for a truck get together and as soon as I got back I put my little 10'in donaldson resonator on it, because when I shifted @ lower rpms, it literally was ground shaking! It was pretty bad that hole truck vibrated from the resonation off of the ground! I experimented on my 02 with the way I've got the exhaust done and really liked and decided to do the same to this one. Now on my 02, it was strait piped with a 5'in tip and it nowhere made the noise this one does!

AW HA! So I was right it is a girl truck (it's just in drag)

I was trying to come up with a name for mine but couldn't come up with anything I liked so I just went with what my 2yr old daughter calls it, "Big Truck!" Some of her 1st words were "Big Truck" so it has sentimental meaning to it as well. My 9 year old (she was 5 at the time), named my 2nd gen "Goliath"

With the resonator and the 6'in tip the truck sound deep and tough1
