I can't imagine what you and your family are going through but I share the same sentiment as the guys that have posted before me. Fight for yourself, fight for your loved ones and I pray you can beat the odds.

I'm sure i could but I am fairly particular about having work done on my truck and if you are spending a lot of money on an exhaust system, you shouldn't have to take it somewhere to spend more money. The biggest disappointment is that the sound clips on Magnaflow's web site are misleading and I can guarantee that they are not from their current version of exhaust systems. This guy has the same issue as I do.

They are sending me the new section with the muffler but it sounds like it will still have a flapper valve. I'm hoping they found one without the flapper, per my request but I'll see what happens. I did end up finding another guy that posted up a video with the same noise and he just clamped open the valve. Seems like a poor fix for an $800 exhaust system.

So I just picked up a Magnaflow exhaust system (15267) and as much as I like Magnaflow, I was really bummed out to find that they have added a flapper valve to their newest model of this exhaust. I don't know who runs their R&D but the new version makes a ridiculous whirling noise when you give it more than half throttle. I just tuned my truck to correct the speedo, shift points and disable the DOD so this flapper is the last thing I needed.

Just had the side windows tinted and blacked out the B pillar.

I have them on my truck and they produce a lot of noise but other than that they have great traction in dry conditions and fair to good traction in the rain. The shop didn't load up the wheel with weights so balancing seems to be good. I do like the look of them on the truck, they are very similar to the Toyo M/T but with a different shoulder blocking.

That looks great! How much would this cost installed at your shop?

Great looking truck. I have been looking to do the Fox 2.5 and Cognito UCA. How does it ride?

Bilstein 5100s up front set to 1.85” and a 1” lift block in the back. It rubs just a bit on the plastic on the back of the fender well but not to bad.

Just picked up some 20x10 Hostile Havocs w/33x12.50s. Wasn't really looking for black rims when I came across these but they look pretty nice.

1st day Amp Steps Leveling Kit Bilstein 5100's front and back 20x12 Mavericks with 33x12.50 - The offset was a little too much. GM 22" CK 163 with Nitto 420 (285/40r22's)

​This is what happened to my 2004 Sierra Crew Cab at 108mph. Crossed the beams at the 1/4 mile and it let go.

Looks great! I will be doing the same in the next couple of weeks. The body shop will be doing the tailgate handle, emblem and fender trim for $400. I did look at the 2014-2016 2500HD and it looks like the fenders match up perfectly to the 2016 1500 fenders. If anyone wants to confirm that the part number for the summit white fender trim is 22943038.

Unfortunately I don't think the filler piece between the fender and the bumper match up correctly. I am in the same boat as you and would really like to just order them and be done with it. I don't like the idea of driving around without the trim for a week while I am waiting for the body shop to smooth them out and spray them but that looks like the only option at the moment.
