Thumbs up Gonna try to fix the truck tomorrow!

Well the damn engine light has been on for a couple day and it now drives like crap. I dont know since it did throw a code but I think the engine detuned itself becasue of it. I went out today and tried some 0-60 runs this morning the 6.5 was the norm, but not to bad with now its running plus I had 300 pounds of sand in the backend. I am gonna check the #2 plug to see if its cracked, then I noticed the clamp slipped down on the pipe on the passengers sidebecasue its way loose creating a leak. Then I did something stupid when installing the Dynatechs, I torqued the 2 bottom nuts on the headers first allowing the top nut very difficult to tighten. I am gonna loosen the 2 bottom nuts first then tighten the top then the bottom . Make sure their aint any sensors loose and get this thing running good. I am still happy with the quality of the system.

Well, I just got back and I check the plug and it was fine but loose!! So I tightened it back up cleared the code and got the clamp tightened up really good. I had a hudge exhaust leak becasue my truck is alot quieter and it idles alot smoother, and runs a hell of a alot better.
