I went from driving an 05 duramax to a 2000 cummins a couple days ago.... dear lord, how in the hell do you guys hear yourself think when driving one of these LOL

It's not a bad truck, definitely drives and shifts differently than a dury/alli (not necessarily a bad thing) but I seriously feel like someone is shaking a bag of bear traps next to my head all the damn time :D

This is gonna take some getting used too....
 
Stock....not exhaust noise. Engine rattle.... sounds normal, just way louder than a duramax.
 
the 24v was the loudest(IMO)on put in the dodges...

But how many miles are on the engine? If over 150K do a valve adjustment and that can quiet it down a little. Also you can run some 2 stroke oil in the fuel. I forget the ratio but you can search and find out. But that quiets it down some and helps with keeping the VP44 alive.
 
Put a stack in it, you wont mind that rattle so much.

This. I didn't mind the noise, but I started using 2 cycle oil mix before I did the pump swap and it did make a good bit of difference. Almost instantly for my ears.

I hope not, I'm puttin lots of miles on and I'm not working with much to begin with.:D
 
If you set the valve lash a little tighter it helps the rattle. Same with my IAT sensor mod that adjusts the engine timing.

setting the valve lash is quick and easy, takes some rattle away, and 2 cycle oil helps a lot. friend has a 12 v and he runs atf in his fuel, says that makes is less noisy.
 
I have been running two cycle for over a year now and have noticed no noise difference. I think you guys are doing bath salts.
 
I've been running 2 stroke in my truck for almost 10 years. The only time it's quiet is when is not running. I always have to turn it off at the drive thru.
 
im in no way saying that it makes a 24 v "quite" just a little bit less noisey, i personally dont care about the noise, but when we have the amount of 2 stroke oil that we do, why not pour some into the tank if it helps keep things lubed up?
