It's okay you'll understand that tone is better than loudness. Although I am in the same boat as you I wish my truck was louder and with a different muffler not just straight piped.

The tone is incredible

Don’t forget the truck nuts on the back to complete the look!

Funny how things change over time.   I'm now a big fan of quiet and stealthy for my ride.

So... you recommend going illegal and annoying?  Gotcha!  To each their own!  🍻 😂

Getting my license in the 70s most people I knew had nice cars for first cars. Most of us started working after school and summers. There wasn’t much else to do. I started at 12 baling hay. My first two were new. 73 RX3, 74 barracuda. The second one had headers and a high rise the second weekend. Then I got married.

If you're looking for the best tone I recommend routing and dumping the exhaust inside your cab.  This will give you the best sound experience and also not annoy everybody else around you.

All this truck needs now is a big wing on the back and a bunch of stickers on the body then it will fit right in for the ricer crowd.

We never drove these nice of vehicles in high school that's for sure.

I don't know about you, but some of the kids in my high school got BMW M3s, For Mustang Cobra, Volvo, Saab, etc.  I'd rate those has nicer than a Silverado.  My  oldest kid will be driving age in a few years.  I'm leaning towards a Tacoma for him.

I had a friend in high school that thought he got one over on his Dad when his Dad agreed to let him put duals and glass packs on the family car. Friend was bad about trying to sneak out or come home after curfew. No sneaking out after the exhaust hack. One night after he had been out on an early date he tried to "sneak" back home late by shutting off the engine uphill of the house and coasting down the driveway. The over rich condition caused by the duals dumped gas in the exhaust so when he shut the engine off it backfired and blew up one of the cherry bombs. Woke the whole neighborhood.

His Dad laughed hard every time he told that story.

When my friend bought his own car it was so quiet a Singer sewing machine made more noise.

Lesson learned.

Speaking of first vehicles.  Mine was a 1968 Impala Custom, 2 door with the 250hp 327 and turbo 400 transmission.  I paid $450 for it with 75k miles on it back in 1980.    My parents let me put duals on it.  I used what they had back then called a turbo muffler. Wasn't loud but not stock either.  I wasn't allow to put a Thrush muffler on it.  Anyone remember them?  :lol:

Yep I had the Thrush with duel exhaust on my 75 Impala, 350 4bbl turbo 350 trans with a B&M shift kit. I believe it was the first year for the cats well it came off when the duels and headers were put on. If I remember right the hush thrush was the oval muffler and the thrush was the straight through muffler. Man I miss those days the 4bbl opened and the duels blowing out under the rear bumper. Nothing like the sweet sound of a 4bbl.

 

I believe I bought it in 1980 and I got it for 1500 bucks with something like 60,000 miles on it.

 

Quick story had a friend of mine one day in his 72 Chevelle in front of me as we got onto the highway off an entrance ramp he took off and I jumped to the middle lane running beside keeping up with him with just the 2bbl open as I could feel in the pedal where the 4bbl would open I let him have the 4bbl and walked past him, saw him the next day and he said "man I thought I had you till I heard the 4bbl open up.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I toggled my updates off a couple of years back. Since I don't have any CEL activity and the truck runs fine I'm happy to refrain from rolling the dice. I figure they've got it as good as it's gonna get. Recalls are another matter and I will strongly consider those if I get a notice in the mail.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      We'll know soon. But at the end of the day they'll likely not take owner aggravation and costs into consideration. Probably the most important factor to them will be bottom line, along with units sold. Did they make money off sales of AFM/DFM-equipped vehicles? If yes, and the margin was large enough in spite of warranty and recall costs, I don't know that they will consider much else. Aside from government involvement of course, as in EPA and other regulatory bodies.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      HM oils and cleaning. Well, soft deposits yes, perhaps. Like you say esters are present in in theory that should be a plus. But, is there enough? 🤔 The marker is the "Aniline Point" and it has to be pretty low to solve out baked on deposits. The softer sludge, yea, they do that and that is the claim. Valvoline R&P is the only HM oil I know of (Jury is out on Mobil 1's product) whose chemistry is uniquely able to remove the hard stuff and not be so aggressive as to swell seals to uselessness.    Oxidation levels in virgin oils blends is a good indicator of ester level and higher is generally a lower Aniline number and at one time we could predict without the $400 aniline test it's effectiveness. AN's, alkylated naphthalene doesn't show up in the oxidation test but does show in the aniline test and has become sort of a cheaper go to but most oils only add enough to solve the additive package. Not nearly enough to clean the harder carbon materials.   To your second question about does it matter. Yes is the short answer. Deposits are insulative. Those under the piston crown for example add octane requirement for knock free running. We don't' normally notice in todays motors due to Knock sensor driven ignition R-e-t-a-r-d. At least until the full slate of available values is consumed. Newer motors also often use oil jets to cool the piston to achieve tunes that would otherwise not be possible. Deposits on either side subtract from that. Deposits in fine screens used in VVT/VVL or DFM/AFM services live and die on cleanliness and screens are front and center. Vacuum pumps as well like brake booster in the K2's.    90% of todays oils are Group II+/III blends. A few more at PAO/AN/Group II's. A few boutique oils not Walmart shelf materials have enough solvency to prevent but not remove the hard stuff. R & P the current exception. Even HPL's EC30/40 used as directed (20% max) will get the soft stuff and some varnish out but not the hard stuff.    That orange varnish isn't baked on oil. Those are fuel varnishes left when the fuel diluted in the oil drops out when the oil cools. Like sugar does in a saturated mix of sugar and water that is put into the frig. That is ring sticking material and a glue the binds hard carbon sometimes.    Name brand shelf oils are intended to provide a useful service life at the least cost and highest benefit to the OEM who is trying very hard to keep you in $500 a month payment programs where the real money is made.   Did I miss anything you asked or left unsatisfied?

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      Yes, I understand. And I was saying (poorly), that it popped up on the DIC when I didn't have that info screen up. Just like you, but for a different maintenance issue. And just like yours mine didn't need to be shown at that time.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Ugh, amateurs.   But I did learn HM seal conditioners are esters.   I'm curious about deposit removal - some of the HM oils claim they really clean stuff up, the old and hard to reach stuff, and that's great? To Grumpy's point, a good oil should already be keeping the house pretty clean. I assume there are hard to reach places (underside of pistons?) and things that just accumulate baked-on oil and combustion vapors. If the deposits aren't friction or combustion surfaces and the deposit is just normal "seasoning", is it actually important to remove it?
