The term "bark is worse than the bite" comes to mind with the exhaust. It has dual 2.5" 40 series flows that sound really good IMHO, but it is a 6.2 diesel. It did pull 2nd gear low range in the mud at 3,600 rpm governed speed and thus chuncked mud onto the roof. Engine mods including a J code intake and turning up the pump are coming this fall. Most people think it is a gas engine when under throttle.
Placed mid pack at the fair. I was 4th overall running and didn't get to see how bad the bumps were. Las year they are pretty bad and you had to hit them pretty easy to avoid breaking a stock suspension rig....this year they were much milder and I could have hit them much harder but didn't realize until after the fact, and you only got to run the course once. Think I got around 31 sec. and the winning time was mid-20's. I blew through the mud, but babied it on the bumps/jumps since it wasn't worth breaking it to me. |
