after driving it and noticing and oil puddle under the truck, i pulled the intake again and found a fitting on the adapter leaking. Fixed that and everything seems ok. Am getting pretty good at removing the intake. Lol
At least there is a positive side to having to take the intake off so many times. LOL

Glad to hear you figured out the problem.

I haven't been paying attention. I take it by your sig name that your a picker. Here's a pic of my fav. Custom by John Kinnaird. Bear claw Sitka top. Wish my abilities were good enough to honor the guitar.


Cherry back / sides

Hard to go wrong with a Martin, I've played some mighty nice ones. I have a D-28 but am more a smaller body guy.

No one here to bother with my playing but the dog, and he doesn't care, (Or he's just gotten used to it).

I wasn’t really sure after research when I bought this exhaus kit, but just FYI. This setup, with that exhaust is obnoxiously loud while driving

Uh oh! I ain't gonna like that. I was going to be cool with some louder but was hoping for not too much.

Do you have long tubes on your truck?

Yes. Long tube and off road y pipe. It’s not bad in the cab or hardly any drone, it’s just plain loud outside though

Maybe it won't be too bad then. I thought you were saying it was too loud in the cab. Do yu have cats on your set-up?

Zippy always like the Touring version better but they had quit making it by the time I went looking for one.
