Did your dynomax fit poorly? I know the one for my dad's '03 dodge did. A si/do turbo dynomax is one of my few pre-fabbed options with a long bed.

The tailpipe sits against my quarter panel with no adjustment, and it generally just doesn't look good to me at all.

My low mileage 2006 5.3l just got dropped off



Wait what?


The truck hit a guard rail. The end of the guard rail sheared off the a/c compressor mount bosses and nicked the oil pan in the a couple of places.


Gave a friend a store credit for future repairs to his business, and he gave me this 6.0L. We couldn't get the mileage because the wiring harness is destroyed, but it is super clean.

I am not running the low mount a/c compressor, so this is perfect for me.

The Pacesetter 3 inch Y pipe just came in.

Boy how is this pile of parts ever going to fit on this truck.


Ran down to my buddies shop to fix his computer for him. Decided to pull some plugs and stick the bore scope down in the engine while I was there. You can still see the marks from the cyl honing very clearly. The ran the scope down the inside of the valve cover, still very nice and clean. I hate that we don't know the actual mileage of this motor, but it is very very clean. I don't see it having many miles on it.

AWESOME

I am going to need your help with some stuff in the very near future. I still can't weld worth a hoot, and the electrical in my garage wont support it anyway.

The 3 inch dynomax intermediate pipe just showed up. Funny how it can be such a nice looking piece, and the rest of their system is such a big pile of junk.

I've got a dynomax I-pipe, xr-1, and turn down on the way for my gmc. Hoping the flange is decent. It looks nice in pics atleast

If you had posted earlier I could have snapped some pictures for you. The flange is nicely done. Unfortunately, they reversed the flange sides between body styles, so both the Y pipe and the intermediate pipe both have sockets, and not the ball.

I am going to cut them off and run a V-clamp.
