Chris,
If I remember correctly at one point you had V4 straight-piped and experienced a drone that was very annoying so you installed a muffler. What muffler did you use and did it solve that issue? I have the same thing going on and I'm in the market for a muffler.
Thanks, Mike

Check out FTE Diesel resonators. They work wonders for in cab drone.

many insurance companies will do 'stated value' coverage.

you tell them how much its worth (they may need to look at it) and then they do some math and give you a monthly payment.

Based on the conversations I've had with insurance agents here, I'd also recommend having an appraisal done... or at very least a stack of photo's and an equally high pile of receipts for parts and work. For my Fj40, I couldn't get a declared value policy because of it's age and because I was driving it to work. The insurance company claims the current plan covers full value, but from experience, they'll only want to give book value. If I have an appraisal done, it'll be concrete evidence from an independent party proving the value of the truck... until it's pretty (which may never happen) there's no point... because only a true gearhead will see the value of a well modified rig... most can't look past faded paint.

As an example, when a car took me off my 3 year old BMW F650, the insurance company only wanted to pay me 6k for a bike I had 12k into... claiming it wasn't very 'clean'. Because I hadn't washed it since it rained that morning, and it then was hit by a car, flipped end over end, slammed on the asphalt, and slid through the dirt... also it had about 25k miles on it (even though the motor wasn't fully broken in).

The more Ammo you have for a fight, the better (also don't piss off the local shop/dealership the insurance company will ask for a value).They'll let you ensure it for as much as you want to get your money... but only pay out what they decide it's worth... regardless of how unreasonable that may be.

V4 has always had a muffler but V5 (2011 5.4) had an aftermarket muffler with a drone that I replaced. I just used a basic stock replacement muffler from the parts store.

Latest Class C in for some spring hanger prep. Springs are on the way, just need some axle parts before we get it on!

Cool, thanks! Also, did you have to extend the o2 sensor line where it's at now?

You guys are not coming to OvEx this week?

VivaLaVida is still travelling ? Is he planning on covering the entire planet ?

Running wide open here at UJ. Several big deliveries of goodies already today! 3 pallets of springs, 2 mega boxes from Aluminess, drool worthy goodies from Yeti for the Van Life Rally. I think we'll be parking a van on one

I see Christmas came early this year, and I didn't get you anything.

You still have time.

Real quick question on the 5.4 exhaust. I take it you ran the exhaust into a new muffler with two inlets?
