[@chesspiece81]

LT I've watched you on this show for years and talked with you on several forums and just wanted to say I appreciate your role in the performance truck community.

"Nobody knows, it just does." 😂 Classic, thanks LT Dirt.

[@myrondesjarlait9752]

Just can't get myself to call a 1 into 2 a "dual" exhaust.

[@Icutmetal]

Agreed.

[@garythompson2101]

Was thinking the same thing...

[@RPGGGC]

I agree too. Maybe its a sponsor or just to show different ways one can go about it?

[@evilfingers4302]

I have a Super40 on my Lil V6 Sonoma, improved my truck's gas mileage and the sound is much better than stock.

[@kreggkittredge253]

He said he can't wait to hear how a 5.3 sounds with an exhaust on it . Guess we have never been outside

[@Kevin_747]

I'm just going to go ahead and say it. LT can carry this show just fine by himself.

[@lealpete7070]

Facts I don’t like the new guy. I hate the way he talks. LT is badass

[@JFROMM454]

He did for a while before Austin came on. Did just fine too

[@VinceGuzman]

he can’t do it by himself

[@jimmyhilton9421]

You know more than the mechanic I used to work with

[@LukeEdward]

Hey #Rockauto are you listening? ... Rockauto is great about 90% of the time. I ordered replacement loaded MOOG control arms, and they were the best available. What I got was two different control arms, with different range of ball joint angles. After a LOT of back and forth, I was told that each was an “acceptable replacement” for what I ordered. As an idiot, I ordered 6 top quality “Blue Streak Ignition Coils” too. What I got were 5 “Blue Streak” ignition coils and one non-“Bluestreak” same brand, but clearly different ignition coil. RockAuto AGAIN refused to replace it stating that since it had the same part number, it was an acceptable part. BOTH TIMES, I sent pictures and emails stating the very obvious differences and why I would like a replacement and Rockauto FLATLY REFUSED TO REPLACE IT. I have been using Rockauto for about 10+ years, but this last year has seen a dramatic drop in quality, and customer service. (Edit) After research, I found out that the one ignition coil was a fake, with different ohms resistance internally and different windings. And the control arm was an Eastern European manufactured part, versus the other one that was made in America, and has an inferior ball joint. #Rockauto, you disappointed me greatly this year, and have forced me to exploring different sources for my parts from now on.

[@torcher78]

This is the problem with using websites like this if you had bought something like this Napa you could go in swap it out no questions asked. As far as rock auto is concerned they’ve already got your money so they could give two shits whether or not you actually got what you ordered! hope this is a lesson learned to you not to trust such a shit company

[@noscopesallowed8128]

I've had similar problems with Parts Geek. Unfortunately this seems to be the standard in the aftermarket industry.

[@revolutionday1]

Yeah, their "customer service" definitely sucks balls, especially now that they did-away with any way to actually call them and get a live person.

[@hillarylevenworth8824]

That LSD you installed doesn't work because of the spring preload. It locks due to the side thrust generated when the spider gears attempt to rotate the side/axle gears. There are different bias ratio spider/side gear combinations available to increase or decrease the locking ratio. It would work fine and generate much less heat and parasitic drag without the springs. Just takes a little more time to setup and minimize the side gear to spider clearance. That's time the OEM manufacturers don't need to invest due to the amateur notion that the springs do all the work.

[@billiondollardan]

I frickin love this show

[@alexisgutierrez9276]

Y’all should do a truck tech on a Cat eye 04-06 Silverado

2nd episode with LT solo, whats up with Austin?

[@pablotharpalo5685]

I was literally just about to ask where's the ragin Cajun?

[@bigjoemann]

Filmed during COVID lockdown, maybe?

[@revolutionday1]

He's probably got th' 'Rona.....

[@Just-InTimeRepairs]

I can't stand Austin. Dude can't figure out what accent he wants to fake, so he merges them all together.

[@infernoking7504]

If your gonna put a exhaust on it go true dual exhaust its worth the extra money

[@BobbyOfEarth]

He didn't need to "get the rear breaks out of the way", ..they looked like they were gonna fall out on their own any minute now.

[@IronChief]

The only time you saw a chrome roll bar in the 90's is if you were watching a rerun of fall guy.

[@revolutionday1]

Damn. Missed opportunity on that exhaust. If you're going with such a "theme", I would've definitely put the tips going out to the sides at an angle.

[@AndrewArndts]

it always amazes me, every damn car/truck show does some sorta work on front suspension and NEVER show or even say Time for an Alignment.... like it just frackin magically happens and boom, car drives straight down the road....

[@fabianatencio6634]

I'm pretty sure anyone who works on car or even owns a car knows you need an alignment 🤦🏼‍♂️

You forgot to mention you went to Dual piston rears...

[@shawnriddle3018]

"Some H.D's have a solid axle front ends". You mean all but G.M. Have solid axles. G.M. is the only H.D. that uses a weak independant front end on their H.D's. Well known for snapping the half shafts when adding a large tire off roading.

[@ericschmidt1192]

You replaced the rear brakes, what about the emergency brake shoes? They were not on your parts bench. Would be nice to at least something on stuff like that, that gets overlooked.

[@SimpleManFore]

How long do we have to wait for part 3

[@mynameisspence]

[@stegomon]

Do you have to do a burn out with every truck?

Yes.

[@bullseyepete8367]

Yes!

I thought the Z71 package has an Eaton locker from t & rear.

Will this set up work on a 02 Silverado 3.73

[@lilstillwater7107]

Some day I will be apart of your team

[@dillanhamilton]

Where’s Austin?

[@esmon5358]

You re used the ring and pinion... you have to check what the back lash is before removal because the gears have a pattern they are worn into. If you go setting up used gears to a new backlash “to get it to spec” your going to cause problems having the ring and pinion running in a different pattern. I’m disappointed you guys did it that way. It will cost a diy a riskier result

[@tommywilliams9184]

What hub assembly did you use

[@Lwmusic1000]

What state are you located in

[@jessethompson1545]

LT, what do you think of the Detroit truetrac carrier?

[@jessethompson1545]

@Betrayed 1914 is it quiet? I’ve heard both ways. I’m looking to pull the trigger on this soon and want to hear some recent real world experience with it. Thanks

[@PAUL-1961.]

in my opinion that is not true duel exaust that you put on the truck

[@guillermohernandez2719]

Nice job on all the trucks but how about an import truck all I see is ford Chevrolet and gmc

[@brandonheckathorn3270]

From someone who was there....Those roll bars were dated and gone by the late 80's...

But they look cool

[@rikiorikio9368]

But why just a Posi when you can put a Positronics?

[@BrassMtn]

It needs a windshield visor with some small orange running lights to make it complete

[@noscopesallowed8128]

Agreed. I know visers are controversial but you can't argue they are the classic look.

[@chrisestill8825]

Throw the whole JC Whitney catalog at it. Lund Visor and side window covers. Oh, and a set of tail light covers

[@revolutionday1]

Maybe a bug shield across the leading edge of the hood, too.... :-D

[@mej684]

Why spend all the money on the rear end and use the old stock diff cover? They're literally $50 new.

[@starbattles1]

Long tube headers that feed in to a single pipe, and back out to fake duals? Seriously? Why do upgrades and long tubes just to choke it down to a single pipe? WHat a waste of time and money for some fake shit. Hilarious he keeps saying Flow Masters (PLURAL) WHen all we see is ONE flow Master going in. Because most normal people put 2 under a truck with true duals.

Loud = Lame. Time to grow up and understand you can have power without noise. And more important you can have power without annoying others around you. Stop promoting arrogant behavior like putting on loud exhaust. Anyone who thinks that loud is better is living in arrogance.
