Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 
I bet i could count the times on one hand (after high school) that i drove down the road in my old truck with the radio cranked.. i just listen to the motor and listen for new sounds or try to diagnose the ones that i can't figure out!!

You could do what most women do and turn the radio up so you can't hear those strange noises.

Nope, no radio, if I did, I couldnt hear the exhaust.

nope, It hasn't worked since I have owned the truck.
Exhaust has a wide range of notes to listen to. :metal::metal:

Yes,I love listening to music "and" the sound of my truck. From time to time I leave the music off and/or wind the window down to do a sound check on my truck's condition.

What radio? At this point even if I had a radio, it would have to be pretty loud to compete with the exhaust. No insulation or carpet, and dumped flow 40's make for a pretty loud ride! One day I will put an audio system in there, there are just many other things higher on the list.

Nope, I don't listen to the radio in any of my vehicles. The only time I miss listening to the radio is when I am driving the '92, because the radio doesn't work, lol.

You guys need to get a life. :truck:

Half the fun of cruisin' in your truck is listening to tunes. :five:

My exhaust is my radio - shame though as I have a nice system in my truck

I have a factory AM/FM with a stock style speaker but I can not hear it over the exhaust so I rarely turn it on.

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 
Yeah I do, but prefer the music that the motor makes.

Don't have a radio, but if I did i would probably listen to it.

Still have the original AM pushbutton radio and listen to it every time I drive it.

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 
I have a nice cd player in mine that hardly gets used because of the exhaust noise in the cab. But when I do its usually some heavy metal!:metal:

Life without radio or music would suck.. in my humble opinion of course!

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 
I have mine on all the time, BUT just as back ground noise, the exhaust is the main chorus.

I surely will have the radio on most the time when my truck is finished. but still love to listen to the rumble of the motor and exhaust along with my gear drive.

Re: Do you even listen to the radio in your truck?
 
My 69' stepside is nice and quiet inside, but loud outside, so I do listen to the radio most of the time I drive it. But if I open the cutout up, forget it! LOL If I'm driving one of the 4 other trucks besides my 69' in my sig, well forget the radio there way to loud to even hear it while driving around!
