Had a super 40 series flowmaster system installed with 2.5 inch all the way back with dual in and dual out dumped in front of the rear axle. Oh yeah. I also sold my 02 crew cab and now own a 12 valve cummins. :) Pulls way better than that ol 4.7. (Pic is coming back after exhaust work.)

Wow! This is so weird, I hav the exact same truck, with the same exhaust. I recently had a flowmaster 40 one in two out pipes put on my power wagon with 2.5" exhaust and 3" Jegs stainless steel tips. Doesn't it sound beautiful. Have to have my carb tuned too though. More pictures will be up when the trucks gets out of the shop after 6 months and probably more of waiting. It's hard to resist not wanting to take this thing back home, but it's for the better.

Well guys, I havent lost interest. I drove the power wagon to work today and that will officially break the motor in. Will be changing the oil this weekend and fixing a small coolant leak at the bypass nipple. All else is pretty good. Still got to do some work on the linkage for the edelbrock. I found a van at a local u pull it with a thermoquad set up on it. I got all the factory linkage and am going to give it a try. As soon as thats done... Time for the lift and tires.....

Finally found some time. Front and rear axles resealed, oil changed, coolant leak fixed, and lift installed.
