I know in my dual system the muffler is slightly shorter to accomodate the Y. It may require a custom setup if you want to retain parts of the Banks System, getting everything to match up and look right will be the problem.
Without Oil Analysis I wouldn't run any oil past the recommended drain interval from the engine mfg.
On the gear lube front I've used Mobil 1 products for years and have been pleased with the results.
Some of you guys need to move to Virginia so that we can have mod parties here. I've got a coolant filter kit, 203º thermostat, billet thermostat housing, and crossover line on the way which should make for a nice couple of hours work. I guess I can get my two year old son to talk to me while I...
I shot some RemOil in between the spring leafs today and that seems to have cured my creaking noise. I'll still check the balljoints out just to be on the safe side. Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the info. I'll jack it up and give the ball joints a test.
The tabs in between the leaf springs sounds like a possibility since I washed the underneath of my truck recently with degreaser. The truck only has 46k miles, but I've heard of people getting less miles out of ball joints.

I don't have a DP Tuner chip yet, but I do plan on adding one later. I would never use the stock setting so I plan on getting high idle, 60hp tow, 80hp economy, and 120 race.
The ball joints are the only "weak" link to the front end from what I've seen. Once you switch those over to a greasable Moog they should last a considerable amount of time though under normal driving conditions.
Hoss 350,
Can you post some pics of your install? I'm having a hard time visualizing it and want to make sure I know what you're talking about with the hot-rolled steel.
This may be a stupid question, but the green eye in my drivers side battery is now black. The passenger side shows green and my truck still starts easily. The batteries are the originals so 5 years old. I'd really prefer not to have to shell out the cash for new batteries right now so do you...
