finally figured out why the high beams would come on when I applied the brakes, also got the new signal cam in and have signals now just no 4-ways. at first the high beams would flash with the left turn signal. but figured it was the relay for the classic industries hd headlight harness that was causing all the problems, pulled it out and now all is well. hoping I can get it inspected in the next few weeks before I go pick up my new car trailer.

Got the new  exhaust welded up today. 2.5 in pipes off the headers into the cherry bombs, and x pipe ( even though they ran it differently than normal)



and sorry for the crapp camera man on the cell phone video, but sounds alot better in person and got rid of the raspyness of the exhaust, cant wait to hear how it sounds with the cam.

      It does look like it is pulled too far out, was your truck up on jack stands on the frame with the suspension drooped ?

I am been in a 70 Camaro with a built 454 running at a high rate of speed and drop the driveshaft.  At the time it happened we didn't know where the "flash" of light came from....
