Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
Thanks. I can't wait for them to break in or what ever they do and be louder. Every flowmaster I ever had has done that after a few weeks.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
Thats weird...since they are chambered and all steel inside...nothing to break-in like a glasspack with the fiberglass matting inside...

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
I know. Every flowmaster I have had has gotten louder after a few weeks of driving.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
Got my ECM back from lt1swap.com guy and it now idles nice and low like it should. Does not push hard when sitting at stop light. Much better to drive. Just need to get trans shifting correct with shift kit I hope. Then I may get a set of wheels. Wife wants showwheel streeter in black. Possibly 18x9 in back and 18x8 up front.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build
It is going to a good home. Going to get bed sides and full body work. And new wheels. Guy owns a body shop and buys cars and restores them and sells them. He wrecked his trucks bed getting here and will fix the one he got from me and drive it tell he gets his ford fixed. Happy to see her go to a good home. Sorry to see her go tho.
