You know that the muffler in the vid is a Flowmaster Super 40 right?

Yes, which is why I started the post with "This is with a Flow 40..." haha BUT I can't find a 40 that is 2.5 Dual In/ 2.5 Single Out.

I guess its a good thing I can see colors now thanks to my eye surgery... I'll be needing them for this damn mess I'm about to get myself into! haha

One thing about remote starts/alarms that I've always hated was the huge key fobs they come with. This one is just perfect. Like 3/4 the size of my stocker, but will lock/unlock/start my truck/anything else I wanna add on 4 aux commands from 1400ft away or so.

Maybe it's just me, but I prefer the OEM look of the factory remote.

Have you started the SAS yet?

 

[AirmanSkee]

Started cleaning up and going through the axle. Waiting on WFO to get my knuckle back to me (should be here in a few days.) Then I have to see when the guy who is helping me is free. He is the one with the shop, tools, welder, etc. So his schedule is what decides when it gets done haha


And BTW, turns out the remote starter kit was shot. I got hosed on the deal, but it has me wanting to get one now. Its on my Christmas list!

 

[AirmanSkee]

Got the knuckle machined, studs nuts and cones, steering arm and two new pairs of ball joints back from WFO. That is everything I need except to get my brake lines made after I test the droop. All I have to do is get the time off to do it! Looks like we are getting snow dumped here soon so gonna do my best to start it right after the holidays.

A few GoPro shots. Hands were too cold to use the iPhone as a viewfinder, but I wish I would have! These turned out sweet and I could have gotten some better ones if I was closer and could see the angle of the shot. I'll head back out to that spot again when its clear!

It's SAS time fellas... Didn't get a chance to see what's leaking but I'm almost 100% sure that's gear oil. Letting it thaw and going to clean it all up in the morning. Everything is too wet and sloppy to see what's leaking right now.
