I haven't used plasti-dip before, but I was thinking about trying it out. Think there's different finishes too. Or give it a clear coat it if you like how it turned out.

Oh, by no means do I consider myself knowledgable on this topic. Just something I picked up. Not worried about Grumpy. What I said was meant more as a jk. Grumpy would actually do a great job of explaining this.

I completely agree with you. I was just saying that because borla makes standalone mufflers one would think they'd be helpful and recommend one that fits with the ops desired sound level. Either a replacement or add on. With everything they design I personally think they'd be in the best situation to make that recommendation...

?... That was meant to be a compliment

You're not slow. You're like a young cheetah with its first hard on

Yeah, width is definately one factor of many. End goal is to influence where you are in the powerband at a desired speed or distance to improve e.t Or speed. Depending on the application you may be able to increase just width, or just height. Or quite possibly you might want to go with a smaller tire. I was just mentioning how it worked in my application. I didn't have traction from a dig in 2wd with the oe tires. The extra 5 pounds per tire, friction from a larger contact patch, and slightly reduced gear ratio was just enough to give me traction without greatly affecting power to the ground. And put me in an rpm range that improves et because of a later shift. But I'm actually waiting on some new wheels that are 2lbs lighter. Where that weight is on the wheel could have a big effect. So all of this could potentially go out the window I'm sure Grumpy or someone will be along shortly to correct anything I may have stated incorrectly

No, that's not what I see. I agree to disagree

Interesting fact. A lot of people complain about the gearing being so low compared to competitors. But if you pick the correct (Taller tire) for your application you can reduce your 0-60 mph etc. For ex. I put on slightly larger tires changing the axle ratio to 3.19 from 3.23. I know, small change. But enough that it now shift's just after 60mph and the 1/4 mile making better time. A lot of factors in this. But if you're traction limited a taller tire could be the way to go. That is, if you use trucks for things they weren't intended for And taller tire's cover more ground. Less rpm for distance traveled so.. quicker at higher speeds

It's too bad we won't get to see a 12 speed. Four or Five overdrive gears would have been great on the highway.

It's not his facts. It's how he argues them In all seriousness though, it really doesn't matter what he says. When he speaks, it screams I'm smarter then everyone. Not unlike you And now it seems you two roll through this forum together!

No, in my case it was during cruising at a constant speed. Then it went to rpm fluctuations (+/-200). Then onto full vibrating like crazy, basically everywhere. Still ticked about that. I had the truck looked at multiple times through out that transition. Wasn't until you could use it as paint shaker did they actually do something about it.

I cant say if this applies to you. But my 8spd did that for a little while (steering wheel/pedal vibration) before it eventually turned into the chevy shake. Trans flush with new fluid mostly fixed it. But seeing as you've already done a flush, it could potentially be your torque converter on its way out. Sounds like something that needs to be properly diagnosed. Nice paint!

I agree to disagree, not interested in arguing.

Nope, I'm not wrong. I'm happy your happy though

Moisture builds up in everything including engine and transmission. But like you said catch can's are largely responsible for that milky color some people see.

Because they manufacture various different mufflers. I've had a similar experience with borla. They used to be helpful and would recommend a specific muffler based on your needs. Now... they may as well remove their # and email, for all the good it does people looking for product advice.

Yeah, ethanol doesn't like the cold.

Got everything I need for e85, now I just need summer

I wouldn't think Bridgestones would wear unevenly... I don't know what to say. If it is an issue the dealer will find it. You might end up having to pay for repairs though because of your leveling kit.

Ok, I'll be sure to check out tomorrow if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Right, I think he talking about whether or not all the buttons light up with auto selected? I thought they do but no I'm not so sure

T1's have 0 need of a catch can. Valve cover's filter out any oil (same as k2). But the T1's don't have a pcv valve coming from the valley. Which is largely responsible for any oil that creates carbon buildup.

This is with the key in the ignition? I'm not sure about about after a remote start, key out. But, without checking I'm pretty sure they all light up. Doesn't really make sense though, because your's light up when depressed so they're not burnt out

No, not with a 2.5 level. Definitely no if it still makes noise in 2wd. It's too difficult to diagnose problems like this. But I would say you probably have aggressive offroad tires? And you probably have uneven tread wear leading to the noise. It wouldn't matter if you rotated them. This happened to my stock duratracs and they're more of a/t tire, not an offroad tire.

Well... I can tell you a block of aluminum or plastic doesn't howl. Sounds like its rotational, "tires".
