BBQ all the way!:flipoff2:
You change the exhaust yet? That makes more of a difference. Straight pipe is not loud at all, turbo kills the noise.
my dad called me yesterday about a ford factory replacement airbox that costs $500. he said they changed the design so they wont break and let in lots of crap.
how much was this one and do you know anything about this?

AFE makes a great product. I really liked the one on the ford, just wish I had bought the one that was a toploader instead of the ghey canister type in the 6pointOhs.
Who's your Amsoil dealer?
Truck is all ready straight piped, being a dually you can hardly hear a difference even with the windows down.
I paid 200 shipped for the filter setup, I'm kinda disapointed in the AFE filter itself. Its the "Dry S filter" thats says its a lifetime but requires no cleanning only "tapping".:confused:
I think to actualy get more performance I also need to modify the airbox to let more air in. Would anybody see anything wrong with cutting out the side thats closest to the fender?
edit- Dammit I got the wrong setup, off by 1 part number. I should check better when dealling in person with four wheel parts. I was wanting the "radial flow wasable filter" instead of the Dry S one, and its a wopping 12 dollars difference.
Sound doesn't bother me, I like it better than the 4 or 5 inch system which act like a megaphone.
I feel ripped off now, I like the idea of the top that seal around the hood to cut back on the heat but I was expecting a higher quality filter. The dropin proguard seemed pretty pointless to me due to the bad factory box design.
its really not loud at all. i was suprised to hear that is was straight piped
i have heard those filters are cleanable. they used to have a video on the website, just dropped in a 5 gallon bucket.
This is why I don't like leveling kits

You do realise that you have nearly a couple tonns of sand (more if the moisture content is high). You have a bed liner in that truck?
any truck will sit arse low when overloaded. ed, put this on the big dumb loads thread!
Ok, there is no license plates or club stickers in it, so I will just say somebody saw it in arkansas or oklahoma or somewhere. ;)
I would bet it was about 5,000 lbs, 2 yards of some wet ass clay. How was that overloaded? I was nowhere close to hitting the bumpstops, tires are good and the brakes fair.
edit- The official payload is 5,000 lbs therefore I was officialy not overloaded :flipoff2:
nice. reminds me of the song, "brakes are good, tires fair"
