I’m sorry for my late reply, yes it still sounds like a diesel, especially since the engine bay has virtually no insulation. It is far more tolerable now in the cab since it dumps behind the axle. But when I drive by it still sounds like a train car full of doorknobs going over a cliff!

I had a problem getting it started the other day and that led to checking the block heaters - I have ordered new cords - as well as a new starter. The starter is pretty tired and so it runs the battery down which in turn heats that starter up. I’ve learned that for a diesel in particular it just isn’t a good idea to have a weak link in your starting system. The one I ordered is off of Amazon, it looks to be made in USA and has good reviews. I’ll post some more pics when it arrives, and a link.

I hate to think someone stole it but the decal on one of my dually hub covers went missing so I ordered another off of eBay, luckily it was cheap.

Truck also needs a rear main seal so I guess I will be doing that too!

The 51 chev is not mine, it’s a friends I just like how they look together.
