You must not have an exhaust.
When MDS kicks in with the Carven it sounds aweful.
The truck is stock, everything still factory, I can't hear the exhaust with the window up, unless I put my foot into it. I do not notice any time lag on the switch to 8 cyl.
there was some kid around with a 4 cylinder honda a stupid big can that was a pita.
I haven't heard it for awhile, maybe the pile of crap died, the way he wound it up.
As I said on or off, I don't really bother me, but if I want to keep the motor speed up a bit around town, I will be in 5 th with the buttons.
Swift Current is still what would be called a town ,lots of places, 14000? maybe
My home town is about 500.
BTW I just upgraded the ears, I have bought tractors for less money.
PS, I will add, I very seldom mash the peddle to the floor, I find most of the way is as good or better them just jamming it to the floor. Did lots of that with the old grain trucks, petal to the metal was normal, until I got the 855 Cumm. that was a different ball game.
