The #nopayment and I'm financially irresponsible Tow Rig

Still required a certain level of college to get that degree though.

Doesn't mean my proofreading skills got any better.

Dude...they give those to any moron these days

Well got a bit of maintenance done tonight. Really refreshing changing a set of plugs in a proper v8. Oil change, plugs, wires, ac tensioner, fixed tow haul mode (temporarily permanent), and installed the prodigy p3 brake controller.

Got a shot of little man hooking up @Joe J. trailer to bring his Jeep over to the house as a rental

Throw some dielectric grease on the plug tips & boots.

Well truck did good on the tow to Harlan. Used lots of 3rd gear and more 2nd than I thought but I'm used to running diesel speeds so I likely was pushing her more than most would. Avg anywhere from 7.6 mpg all the way up to 9.9 mpg on the last leg.

Also Speed Engineering finally has the exhaust back in stock which is a good thing. Managed to blow a hole in the stocker after pulling Fancy Gap at all the rpms. This will likely be WAY too loud for towing but we'll see, easy enough to add a resonator with the mufflers in the kit. 1-7/8" long tubes and dual 3" with an x should make this 6.0 scream. I is excited

Less debt = more wheeling = more fun.

Anyone else still waiting for the irresponsibility to happen or is it just me? All I've seen is maintenance this, normal use that, responsible things...

Do a burnout or something cool....

Patience is key here unless parts are donated need to swap in a limited slip so it can actually do a respectable burn out. I did do a killer rolling burn out the other day leaving work, but it was wet.

A spool would be cooler....

I'm sure you could find somebody that would willingly give you a G80. That would totally prove the irresponsibility part!

Honestly, not sure what I'd put in it for a limited slip. True Trac maybe? I hate clutches, but it doesn't need a full locker no matter how tempting it is with an open 14 bolt carrier.

Also, may I suggest a full set of PowerStop rotors, Z36 carbon ceramic pads, and a 2011 Duramax hydroboost. I've never had a setup that stopped any better! The rotors won't glaze for a LONG time and hell, when they do, they still stop great. Totally worth it and not very expensive.

Maybe 10 years ago it would be.

Well I do have a G80 in my shop in the 14 bolt slated for the Jeep. If it looks decent I'll toss it in. Cheaper than a True Trac.

 

[Croatan_Kid]

It doesn't look decent, even from my house!

It's gonna be loud when towing. Like REALLY loud.

Yeah, good thing is it'll be a few months before I'm towing on any long trips. Need to pick out some resonators to go in at some point. Truthfully doubt it'll be worse than the V10 I had. @CasterTroy @77GreenMachine and all of Harlan remembers how loud that truck was.

I was a V10 owner myself. Installed the bigger Y pipe and added a 3" Magnaflow cat back.
Was a bit raspy no doubt

 

[Chris_Keziah]

I love me parts, still waiting on the mufflers (fuckin FedEx)

 

[Croatan_Kid]

I'm slightly jealous of them there headers.

For the money these things are pretty nice. FedEx managed to dent the collector a bit but nothing I can't fix with a pair of pliers.
