BIL passed last night about 8:30. Just really hard to understand how he went so quickly. Still no answers from the Docs. Sure will be a change in our lives. We spent lots of time with him.
Thanks for all your comments and wishes.

Sorry about your family Jim
Hope everything goes well with the location Will
Got the Roush side exit installed yesterday and got my drivers side calipers replaced.
Found out I have a broken coil so I'm getting the drop and tie rods all changed at the same time hopefully next saturday. That explains my crappy handling over bumps.
The ROR is quieter than my 14" maggie 45'd. Pretty strange. But the tone is killer. I have high flow cats which enhance it a bit, but wow is the tone deep and throaty. My family said they barley heard me come up the street compared to the larger maggie. The dynatechs should wake it up, but I am going to put a resonator in to tame it down. How loud is yours right now Will?

I'm so sorry to hear that Jim... in my thoughts.
One of my friends from high school passed the other day (21 years old) from cancer. Such a sweet girl, pretty upsetting.
I'll snap a few today 88

Thanks again guys. Yep, some great memories made the last year and a half. One eve just about sundown, he and I were sitting on the screened porch and way out across the pasture, 3 or 4 dogs were running down the fenceline. He jumped up, grabbed a gun from the corner that I had not even seen. Stepped to the door and BOOM! He said didn't hit one that time, too far away, but they got the message. He would tell neighbors to keep their dogs up, if they chased his calves, he would shoot them. And he did.

Got the truck all cleaned up yesterday, best it's been in awhile. Even clened up the engine compartment. I needed a new jug of car wash and have used Megs Gold for a long time. I went to ORiellys and checked out what all they had as the last jug of Gold was just not right. Would hardly suds at all. I looked at everything they had. Gold was $10.49 and Purple Power was $7.49. Then I looked at the ORiellys house brand. It was the same as Purple Power, different label and was $3.49 for a gal jug. Decided to try it and guess what, some of the best stuff I have ever used. Left the truck sparkling clean, very shiney and was very smooth during the wash.

Belltech Street Performance shocks front and rear ordered. Adjustable front and standard rear. Also ordered new U bolts for the rear leafs as advised in a previous thread. I have the 2" GF shackles so that will be 2" rear then 2" drop front to keep the factory rake. Going to have my buddy order new coil springs and then inner and outer tie rods to get this taken care of.
