Do you have more info on the auto dropping tailgate. Maybe pm with what is needed. Also if it works with the auto lock kit.

Photobucket blocked my pictures but you can find the gallery if you go directly to their site. Also, there is another thread in the forum here where a member explained how to add the second relay so it didn't drop when you put the truck in park.

Where you purchase the handle from and how difficult?

What does clamping the valve open do? Does it do anything as far as back pressure or just for sound?

I’m curious what are your tire size and brand. I like the look of that tread.

Man you guys must have nice low labor costs as both shops around here want  $100.00 + just to remove the resonator and add 1 pipe or" $250- $300.00 to split into duals with resonator removal. 

For $30.00 I'd just take the chance but I'd  like to hear it as well if possible before spending 3 times what you paid!  (I'm just looking for a bit more grumble on acceleration but don't want to add any drone at highway speed)

Re upholstered jump seat in leather. You can get the kit leftovers from trucks that didn't need them due to having a full console at local upholstery shops or on eBay for less than $50 bucks.

Just for sound. Without it clamped the difference is not very noticeable after removing the resonator. Once I clamped it...it was a total different ball game.

The app wont allow me to add video. I will see if I can find an alternative way to upload vid. I think you will be happy with the results. It provides a nice tone but definitely no highway drone.  

Uploaded to YouTube hope this works. This was a warm start. Cold Start sounds even nicer.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
