Its not my fault they cant enter information correctly, so im fighting them until they give me a new one. though im not sure now if i want to install another one of theirs. But like i said earlier im already into this thing for way too much and dont want to have to go out and buy another one.

I wasnt thinking/paying attention and the temp had dropped below freezing and apparently this section of road absorbs mass amounts of water and turns into an ice skating rink, which I found out from the fire fighters etc that responded after my truck was in the ditch. That and a little dusting of snow on a dirt road I was sideways and upside down before I knew what hit me.

Luckily my buddy and I were ok. I already bought a truck to fix this one. Will keep pictures posted as things happen. Shop is getting work done then maybe I can get it in.

Got the cat installed.


HUGE difference. He took it out, shook it, said "Huh, there's your rattle." Apparently it's been like that for a long time. He lowered the lift and told me to start it, I did so and it is a bit louder then it was before, revs quicker, accelerates smoother, actually coasts. It's amazing. It is actually quieter up front too, it wasn't even this quiet when I bought it from the dealer almost 3 years ago now.


Next to the plenum, this is the best thing I've done for this truck.


I'm very happy in case you can't tell.

*EDIT*
GTXpress, I am so sorry for your wreck, just glad you're okay and the Dodge is still workable.

Shouldn't take too long til it's back up and running again. Good luck with that.

Ouch dude glad everyone was ok, looks like it was a fun ride...on another note I put in my sub and amp I've had lying around since Xmas and finally put them in last night. Helped a lot in giving that extra boom for the system. I still need to finish off the box tho. Another quick project is painting that dash trim around the gauges and stuff the same color as my truck is. I'll have pics later.

Aww man so sorry to see this. But very glad you and your friend were okay. If you still want my truck I might sell it to you now...

Took jt in for a safety check, it needs a set of ball joints and a wheel bearing. Not impressed considering i had those ball joints put in 5 months ago.

'11 Grand cherokee pulled out to make a left turn across my lane and then stopped right in front of me. It was raining, we hit them at about 30 mph. Thankfully everyone involved was okay.

Wow

I see what that bumper did to your truck what did it do to the Jeep.

Good thing everyone was ok. Metal is replaceable. Is it fixable or you cannibalizing it?
