Project Girl with Wrenches

whosbad · 07-30-2012, 01:39 PM

I love my 2.5 in and 2.5 out SS Magnaflow! Deep and throaty.

roademon · 07-30-2012, 07:54 PM

Got a sound clip?

Stewzer55 · 07-30-2012, 11:19 PM

Paint and bodywork look good there Heater

Magnaflow mufflers, if you believe their commercials, have a scavenging effect that supposedly reduces backpressure more than a straight through muffler would.

PSYKO_Inc · 07-31-2012, 03:22 PM

Just don't get the Magnaflow "Turbo XL", recently made that mistake on mine, sounds "okay" at idle but sounds like ass when you get on it

Thanks Stew

I'll look deeper into mufflers when I'm ready to build the exhaust. Right now I'm more concerned about keeping this damn thing out of the hail have hardly had any hail all year but put a nice fresh paint job on it and it will hail pretty regularly

90blueS10 · 07-31-2012, 11:33 PM

I like the direction this truck is heading. I'd like to see it in person some time but thats probably highly unlikely.

roademon · 08-01-2012, 08:04 PM

Maybe one day when it's done I'll put it on a trailer and haul it down to the states for some of the cooler shows.

sonomaguy · 08-01-2012, 10:55 PM

Drive it down, it's way more fun.

roademon · 08-02-2012, 12:03 AM

lol ya right, like I trust a gm product to go that far :P

90blueS10 · 08-02-2012, 12:52 AM

I'd be more worried about that piece of dodge.

nomacane07 · 08-02-2012, 01:56 AM

^^^ this lol.

90blueS10 · 08-02-2012, 10:59 PM

Fiat.

mostizzle · 08-02-2012, 11:10 PM

Fix It Again Tony.

Also, there's nothing wrong with Mopars.

90blueS10 · 08-02-2012, 11:15 PM

old mopars. 318s /6s 440s are win.

the new hemis are good engines, just don't like the wrapper.

nomacane07 · 08-03-2012, 02:19 AM

I own a Mopar..... kind of.

Jeep count? My problem with Dodge is their shity ass automatic trannys. A 5 or 6 speed manual I'll take one. Seems Dodge is the only one that still uses manuals everyone else is hooked on automatics. Bunch of lazy people lol.

roademon · 08-03-2012, 09:00 AM

Yea dodge took a LOOOOOONG time to realize their tranny's were shit. We'll see if the new ones are better.

roademon · 08-03-2012, 09:02 AM

I put a sprint booster in the dodge yesterday. Dodge changed the ecu's to a highly encrypted one so it's taking a long time for programmers to come out. The sprint booster will have to do in the meantime. Definitely fun with less throttle lag.

nomacane07 · 08-03-2012, 11:03 AM

At least it under warranty.

esten97 · 08-03-2012, 11:14 AM

It's good to finally see another chick on here. Sexy truck!

roademon · 08-03-2012, 08:15 PM

yup, yay for warranty!

And thank you esten97

95v8sdime · 08-03-2012, 09:10 PM

looking good! I had the newer dodge loved it to death, but we all know GM for the win!!!!

roademon · 08-04-2012, 03:47 PM

I pulled up in the dodge today and I'm pretty sure the s10 twinkled in the sun and said "love me". Poor thing needs a bath. And a tailgate lol. Tail gate is in progress at work still. Today I think I shall hook up the washer jets onto the wiper blades. Then I can feel like I've done some progress to poor Bones. The dodge has been getting all the love lately. The dodge is quite litterally a "dick magnet" though. She's a whore. I can't go 5 blocks without a wolf whistle a cat call or a just plain old stare. Who knew there were so many dodge fans.

StirFrey · 08-04-2012, 04:37 PM

you are confusing so called "dodge fans" with people who think its hot you drive a truck

sonomaguy · 08-04-2012, 05:43 PM

Nothing as hot as a girl in a truck.

JCmopar · 08-04-2012, 07:00 PM

This. Tint the windows and I bet it will mysteriously stop.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a dodge fan, but I've never whistled when a 300lb farmer drives past in a new Ram.

nomacane07 · 08-04-2012, 07:41 PM

Their not Dodge fan just a chick in a cew can 4x4 fans lol.

Haha that made my day.

Maybe it is the driver, I think it's both. lol

Tex Star · 08-05-2012, 06:06 PM

dick magnet......hahaha
I'm feeling the pull....wait...just my hand

Wait...what

Stewzer55 · 08-05-2012, 11:47 PM

My first thoughts when I think of a "reliable Dodge"

roademon · 08-06-2012, 02:19 AM

PSYKO_Inc · 08-06-2012, 03:03 AM

Lower it

90blueS10 · 08-06-2012, 03:04 AM

Its factory lowered.

4x4 almost tuckin tire in the front.

snowman46919 · 08-06-2012, 08:22 AM

I think the dodge needs a lift kit but thats just me.

flnole78 · 08-06-2012, 10:37 AM

It needs the mud flaps removed.. I hate mud flaps.

roademon · 08-06-2012, 05:45 PM

I may lift it one day. I'm happy with it how it is though. Dodge does this awesome thing where they have all the underbody components above the bottom of the frame

if only gm could figure this concept out

I paid extra for the mudflaps though, I hate vehicles that don't have mud flaps and it's not legal here not to have them. Though many people don't put them on and it pisses me off. Or do I enjoy getting my windshield sprayed with rocks or a tidal wave of water in the rain from the mudflapless vehicle in front of me?

Started some work on the s10 today, started to run the hoses for the washer nozzles on the wiper arms. Also washed the bed out and scuffed it with a coarse scotchbrite so I can bed line it tomorrow night. Hopefully I'll get my tailgate done next week. Then it just needs the toneau cover painted and the paint work is all done. Then onto working on that v8 in the garage.

90blueS10 · 08-06-2012, 07:28 PM

I just wanted to point out your s10 has no mudflaps.

nomacane07 · 08-06-2012, 08:53 PM

That's because it has less exposed tire.

sonomaguy · 08-06-2012, 08:53 PM

I did not know it was the law to have mudflaps in Alberta, obviously not enforced very much though. I do like mudflats on though, it keeps a lot of the rock chips down, especially while trailer towing.

roademon · 08-06-2012, 09:29 PM

It's about how much tire is showing. The cops love the 4x4s with no mudflaps, 4 guys so far at work have gotten tickets for no mudflaps. Now they all have them lol. And the s10 will get mudflaps as well. It used to have them. But my rears got torn off on curbs when I lowered the truck. So now I need flexible rubber ones. Definitely keeps chips down.

sonomaguy · 08-07-2012, 01:00 AM

If your offset is wrong and they stick out past the side of the body, yes. If the tire is still tucked in , you should not need them. Anyways, they don't bother us in the north, sorry to jack the thread. Back to your trucks.

Stewzer55 · 08-07-2012, 03:09 AM

I do find it odd when I see duallies without mudflaps, It seems that a lot of truckers never seem to check the ones on their trailers, I see a lot of broken and torn ones on the backs of semi trailers.

Stewzer55 · 08-07-2012, 03:23 AM

What your mudflaps need:

90blueS10 · 08-07-2012, 03:26 AM

a stew flap?
