Royal Sierra Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I bet its because its open manifold at the moment and I have no shift boot, and large rust hole in the floor pan. Hopefully I'll have funds to do an exhaust before canby. If not I'll go Ace Ventura style 2 Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Drove it home today. 17 miles. Ran great other than smoking more than anything ive ever seen in my life. Had to pull over 3 times in 17 miles to take a breather because the exhaust fumes were so bad. Cab was filled with smoke. I stopped at oreillys to get flex pipe to at least dump the exhaust out the side. Worked a lot better but fell off halfway home. Monday I'll have an exhaust on it but not driving it until then 2 Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Even tried this tape. Sealed off the shifter area entirely and it was still horrible. Probably stupid to have driven but fuck it, its home. 2 Quote Link to comment
spdcrazy Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 glad its back on the road, i'm sure you've seem my truck with the original wheels and 620 caps. would be a similar look for you. but sounds like you are already set on the rallies, as am I. 15x8's fit but if you want to be low, you'll need to roll some fenders. i'm down with a 4in block, and flipped second leaf, front is reindexed two splines for reference. 1 Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I like the stocks and the rallies. I went out of my way to source a set of stocks then had the find caps. I'll roll stocks for now. Still need 195/50s for the new set of rallies I got. But exhaust first. My apartments already left a note on it for having bad tags and they said theyll tow it tuesday. Buut good thing im getting tags tomorrow. Somebody thought its be funny to write "I LOVE BOYS" on my windshield Which is weird, because I dont. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 It's a compliment. I love boys insinuates that they think you are gay. Homosexual men have a stereotype of having excellent artistic taste and a great sense of style. Clearly, they believe the owner of this pickup to be possessed of these traites, made obvious by the very fact that he owns such a great truck. It's obviously a compliment from someone who is bowing under peer pressure and is afraid to let their friends know. :) 2 Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 In my apartments is all lifted trucks n shit. I got the only lowered rig in the place. Wouldnt be suprised if one of them decided to fuck with it. Its already gotten attention just sitting. Some guy was walking around checking it out 1 Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Oics for fun. Fuck photobucket has went nuts with their ads online. Cant even use it half the time Swapped out the ricey neochrome shift knob for the crusty factory one. Tomorrow I'll put the truck in my name and get tags. Unfortunatley nobody came through with a welder in Molalla so I may have to drive it to Canby for them to do the exhaust 2 Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Are you 16-18 yrs old? Straight pipe? You serious? Just get a turbo stock type muffler straightpipe youll loose torq, but then again I dont know nothing 2 Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 The smallest they had was 2". Its got plenty of get up n go with the 4:88s. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 2in is fine the STRAIGHT pipe part not smart. put a turbo muffler on there at least 60mph will get annoying. and when you think of I thought it would be cool gets old then your going to spend more MONEY later putting a muffler on 1 Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Its not a daily driver. Won't be an issue. If I get annoyed I'll throw on a cherry bomb or flowmaster 1 Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 He's right. gonna be loud and annoying after a while. At least put a resonator on it. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 buy a small turbo Im telling ya. No torq and the exhaust valves gets burnt up a resonator or flow throw cheerybomb? Why even bother. they work best with a turbo in line 2 Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Well the 2" was a lot lpuder than I thought it would be. So we grabbed a super small resonator from a new challenger that way the exhaust still dumps in front of the RR tire. Hopefully it'll quiet it down a bit 1 Quote Link to comment

Royal Sierra Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Just took it for a cruise. Sounds perfect. A slight bit of rasp. Not loud at all. Can barely hear it at idle. This is the last thing I needed to be at canby. Took way too but my truck is road worthy. Had a huge smile on my face the whole way home 1 Quote Link to comment
