Also installed a factory radio. This truck has no antenna or speaker holes! The radio is not wired in it is just for looks! So nice to fill the void in the dash!

Nothing wrong with a stamped rocker!
The guy that came up with the idea of the stamped rocker arm was a Pontiac engineer. I think someone told him,it couldn’t be done, so he made the first few in the basement of his house.

Curious if you have a drone at idle with the new exhaust?

Nope just barely a rumble. Turbo mufflers only have a couple hours on them currently. Truck is very quiet inside easy to talk at speed. No flowmaster or glass pack …..WAAHHHAAAAAAA

Rear looks like P265/70R15

Guessing fronts to be P215/70R15’s
