I put on about a 12" section of pipe after the cat and that helped the fart noise a little so I may just keep it like this for a little while. Eventually I'll get a 4" turbo back exhaust maybe. Also maybe not lol.
I did get a Mishismoto coolant filter today though. After putting this on I realized just how many tools I'm actually missing... https://i.imgur.com/mThgY9v.jpg |

Picked up some wims!
Been working out of state a lot so I don't know when I'll actually get them on the truck but at least I got them lol. https://i.imgur.com/2LVK0IX.jpg In all honesty they might not go on the truck. I think the offset might be too much and they might be too wide but we'll see. |

The chrome was pitted way to bad for me to even think of putting them on my truck lol.
I ground out most of the pitting and convinced my boss to let me use one of the spray booths to paint the wheels. So far they're looking alright. Unfortunately they're not chrome and my abilities to spry cheap chrome are bad / I'm too cheap to buy real chrome. They will be a nice gloss black with the circles on the outside remaining chrome. I maxed out my boost a blew a boot: Thankfully it was just the upper CAC boot and nothing is damaged. And lastly I'm not sure how I didn't post it but I got another pap cap, this one will stay for a while since it's actually in good condition. And yes, I let the truck get WAY too dirty. |

| I really enjoy how much you've done to your truck since I'm a truck enthusiast as well. I also like how much detail you put into this forum post! |

I test fitted one wheel and it was way too obnoxious for me so I just sold them. Still looking for after market wheels lol.
I did finally get around to doing a cold start with no muffler, this one is pretty boring because I didn't rev it lol. I've been having a surging issue when it's cold which I believe is related to either a sticky injector or the FICM. I'm pretty sure it's not the FICM because the voltage stays constant between 47.5 and 48. You can hear how loud the exhaust is in cab though, this is all windows up too. |

FINALLY got new emblems and in classic 002 fashion, they got messed up... They are the chrome logo on like a silver metallic background when it should've been on the AZ beige background. I didn't specify that and with the glare that was on the picture I sent them I can see where they thought this was the color scheme so I guess I'll roll with it for now. The tailgate one looks awesome but the grill one gets drowned out with all the chrome and I don't think I like the steering wheel one at all. That one will probably be coming off. My bumper blocks the emblem up front anyway so I'm not too worried about it, I just hated having the gone and faded logo up front.

Thanks guys!
Knocked another one off the list, got window tint. I've been avoiding it for a while because I didnt want to go illegal but I also wanted it all to match. So either I redo all the tint (canopy included) in 35%, or tint the fronts to 20%. The fronts are now 20%. https://i.imgur.com/bxO664H.png |

| I love how much you update this post. I am always excited to see what you do to the truck because I am in the same 6.0 boat with you and finally started to put new things on mine. Just put a set of front shocks on today! |
