Well, she still honked three times this morning. I only did one wrap around it. I’m gonna try wrapping it two more times. See if that does anything.

Good to know on the three honks. Mine does the same exact thing! Drives me crazy! And I’m sure my neighbors at 5:30 am. Did you take the CTM completely out?

Suspension fun!
Have you had a chance to tow something yet? Or are you waiting to do the trans first? A few years ago I took off my rear sway bar. To soften the suspension a bit. With my 6,000lbs travel trailer it was fine. A year a go we picked up an 8,500 dry fifth wheel. Climbing the grapevine with a little wind was not fun. Had to cruise at 35-40 mph. Not saying I could have kept going at 55 mph+ with the rear sway bar but I’m sure it definitely would have helped stabilize the load. A couple months ago I replaced the end links and bushings on both front and rear. I do have Timbrens on as well back when I took the rear bar off. . Just wondering if I need to replace my rear springs and bushings to eventually. Truck has 298,000 miles on the clock. You know just barely broke in. 😎

Understanding stock Quadzilla
Levels 4 and up use wire tap. That’s if you’ve tapped the pump. If not the most you’ll get out of the tuner is level 3. Canbus fueling and timing. When towing keep it at level 3 or below. 0 is all stock. 1 is just timing I believe. And 2 is valet mode. Whatever percentage you put there will be the amount of stock fueling. IE if it’s set at 50% you’ll get half of the stock fueling from the pump.

Always something. I put a 5 amp fuse on my Quadzilla. Hopefully it will pop first.

Fourth GEN bumper installed
That’s my bro-in-laws 2002 next to mine. I put some Bilstien 4600 shocks in it after he helped me with my bumper. That truck was the reason I got mine. I had seen multiple trucks online with the 4th gen bumper. I liked how they looked. Having this one given to me I figured I’d try it. My original bumper was a little tweaked back when I bought it. I had to put self tappers in the plastics to hold them on.

Fourth GEN bumper installed
You need to get a sports grill for it. This is what mine looked like before I put the sports grill on it. This is the regular grill. Everything is black but if you zoom in you can see the gap The sports grill I got was about 1 3/4 “ taller from top to bottom. and was thicker.

Fourth GEN bumper installed
I’ve had this bumper sitting in my backyard for a few months. Decided to finally put it on. Got the brackets off eBay for $30. Nice powder coated 1/4” thick. Picked up some 1/2” carriage bolts and locking nuts from the local hardware store. Also grabbed a sports grill off eBay for $100. $22 for the emblem and a can of satin black paint. Had to drill 4 wholes in the lower part of the grill frame. Added some spacers from a tv wall mount kit. For the gap between the mount and grill.

Good to know. I’ll readjust it tomorrow.

Track Bar
Got it put in today. It’s pretty hefty. It has a polyurethane bushing. Changed out the drivers tie rod I’ve had in the garage for about a year while I was down there. Truck seems to handle better. Glad I got it done. Did a driveway alignment. 1/4” toe in. Centered the axle. Thanks again @Tractorman

Staying With OEM 3" Exhaust System
My exhaust system has a drone around 2000-2200 RPM while towing. I need to see if they make one of those in 4X4” in and out.
