Re: Got the truck down street, now questions

I took the truck (I'll come up with a name for it someday) around the block yesterday evening. I'm getting my courage up to drive it to the muffler shop this morning. When I got it going faster, say 25mph, it seemed to steer fine, or at least hold a steady course and not be so squirrely like at slow speed. The muffler shop is about 3 miles from here and I'm really dreading the drive. I think it's mainly the sound resonating inside the cab, even with ear plugs I can't hear myself think! OH, and I messed around with the adjustable proportioning valve, seemed to make a difference on how it stops. There's no real weight on the back right now and with a harder press on the brakes, the rears start to squeal (rears braking first). So, I read that to test the PV(proportioning valve), one should test on a wet road or loose gravel road, but I don't have that option, eh.
Hopefully traffic isn't too bad~
I'll be back with a report on my exhaust on my build site
wish me luck!
