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!
