6. Can't get any traction
7. Tune definetly isn't perfect

Decided to buy a house, buying something that appreciates and doesnt depreciate(typically) sounds like a good deal to me. Plus my dog needs a yard to play in and I can use my smoker at a house whereas for the last year I havent been able to and I love cooking ribs on my smoker.
Word on the house though man. Damn trucks keep soaking up money but never return anything.

1.) I haven't driven my truck since the beginning of May. Damn trans failure has me sidelined.
2.) Exhaust hits the frame and makes a real nasty sound when I pull into or back out of a steep driveway at an angle.
3.) I had to park on the street back at our old condo, and the driverside got sprayed by a salt spreader in the winter. There are a ton of little chips all down the driverside. I needs a repaint.

wow... you guys had to bring this one up...
Well... after dealing with my truck sounding like a sprint car and riding like an abrams tank. I had to do something about it...
I put in another muffler after the whole exhaust system to quieten it down, and finally, you can have a conversation in the truck and listen to the radio like a normal person LOL
The ride quality.. well... its about 1000000% better. I put in another set of stock front shocks, fixed my rear air shocks, and put in some 4* shims in the back... no more vibrations, it absolutely floats down the road like it is new again... 8psi in the ahocks seems to be the ticket unloaded. I will have to see how they do with a load in about a week...
now, after all that, I have a rattle in my dash thats driving me nuts... so I'm back to turning up the tunes until I can dismantle my dash
