How many $ do you put into an old truck?

There are not many trucks that can legally run side pipes, like this. At no point can the exhaust run under the fuel filler caps. Mine come out to the sides about 6 inches behind the caps. CPL Robinson, of the Idaho State Police and I learned that from a Federal man, on September 12, 2001. That was the only time we've ever had a problem. I did have a Virginia Trooper ask where my mufflers were, one time. I pointed to the muffler guards and said, right behind them.
It's all 6 inch. The mufflers are Donaldson straight thru. It does rumble.

 

Me personally will never by a truck with any emission crap what so ever. Right now I have the last truck I will ever own, I will just continue to rebuild and if something happens to the truck then I will fully retire, hell I'm almost there now any ways

 

Many are just annoying unedumacated idiots with testicle fortitude (the badge). They don't really even know what to look for other than a few select things.

 

Hey I have an 05 FL Columbia with an MBE4000 in it with 815000 plus miles and it gets 8.6 mpg yes 8.6 mpg and in the 6 months I have owned it (knock on wood) she is still making money I am going to drive her until she drops.

 

8.6mpg! Nice! Is that a Mercedes engine then? the MBE4000? And does the engine have a lot to do with the fuel economy? What size engine is it?
