I read this whole thing. I cannot believe you think there is a big difference from -44 to -51. I like the wheels but there is no way you can tell they stick out more with 7mm more offset. Lol.

Well. I can compared to my older wheels. They’re gone either way. Can’t really tell with just eyeballing it. It’s more how low I could get with the same trimming and no rubbing.

I think if I were you I'd wait a few months to see if the job is what you really want before committing to another large payment.

Tom that’s what the plan is. But it’s a pretty great job. I’m gonna be working in the mill where I grew up. I’ll be a wonder technician. Basically maintaining and fixing the winding machines and starting August installing new ones that are over a million a piece and learning to program them and such. Pay is good. Overtime is good. Room for advancement. And I get to work with my Pop.

Well guys. Got some... good ish news. Just agreed to buy my dads truck. He needs the money and I need a truck. Bad news is... it’s a Cummins. But hey, 2008 rclb 4wd with a built trans and already deleted for less that 10k, I mean WAY less than 10k. I’m not gonna complain. I’ll be back in a duramax one day. Plus. Helping out the fam.

6.7 is a good engine. I drove one for a couple years at work. An Allison paired with it is a good combo.

I assume the trans is a 47re or rh? Who built it?

Neighbor and his brother have 08 6.7 one has the 48re one has the 68rfe
I guess the 6.7 with the 48 was like a unicorn

It’s a 68. No the tow mirrors won’t be flipped lol Dakota is trying to talk me into a hood stack but probably just dump it. Not sure who built the trans or if it’s really built. It’s deleted and broke 10 in the 8th (slow I know) and I’ve beat on it and hasn’t slipped yet. When dad bought it it wouldn’t come out of 2nd so the dealer took it to a dodge mechanic and he said it had aftermarket parts. I’d guess it’s ATS. run her till she blows!!

Daily drivers with dual fuelers, 200% injectors, compounds and lockers making big power but we draw the line at hood stack

I’d get those cheap chrome covers for the mirrors flipped out, huge ****ing Clevis, chrome truck nuts, stack chips, and some obnoxiously huge C stickers anywhere they’d fit

Dad already has one of those lol first thing coming off it. Then leveling kit. I’m just hoping EFI can keep the truck clean. Seems like every tuned Cummins I’ve seen is a smoke machine. Gonna stay in DD for help. Don’t wanna talk to a bunch of Cummins fags lol hopefully y’all will still accept me.

I’ve never fooled with them, my buddy had an 01 with the 24v with big injectors and a 68mm turbo, it was a Smokey bastard but it pulled good til 70 after that it was all show no go with no lockup converter.

Dont axle dump the exhaust... it’s obnoxiously loud
Also know someone that has put a flopro kit on his with their muffler and it sounded like a Honda Civic farting:rofl:
Best thing is just a straight pipe 4-5”
Can put a tip on if that’s your thing but I prefer a miter cut :)
