    Well there you go. Truck is going to drone like crazy with no muff or even a resonator. The bigger the pipes the deeper the drone also. It's a wonder you can even think straight in that cab.

    I don't think you have anything wrong personally. Put a short resonator under the truck or better yet a muffler and your drone will disappear.

    Nothing has changed during the 130k ive put on the truck since i got it.like i said it did it when i got it with 450k.id think if something were going to fly apart,or if something was nearing the end of its service life (bearings,worn shafts),it wouldve done so by now.correct thinking?
