Those look great man. Similar to the 14+ HD mirrors.

Maybe it is just me but I have had the oil cooler block off leak on multiple vehicles. It seems like a fickle gasket to seal. And I mean with coolers and with block offs installed. Best to use a torque wrench on that. Don't worry about oil leaks too much. I mean it isn't like you own a BMW. Those things leak rivers even with the best PM schedules. Tow mirrors look good!

It was torqued every time with my inch lb torque wrench.

I’m meticulous about my truck.

Truck did great. In 4th gear locked up temps barely got over 160.

In 3rd locked up temps would get to 180 or so.

I’ve successfully grafted the NNBS exhaust on to my NBS.

Idle is quieter, cruising you can’t even hear the exhaust now.

Couple of hangers, little welding. Not much of an issue.

Man this new converter is tight. It has less than 500rpm of slip vs close to 1500 with the 258mm unlocked.

It drives really nice now. We have a trip to Roan Mountain on Monday and I’m interested in the difference in take off.
