damn you may have saved me from dropping more pointless money into my truck...well not really pointless because anybody could use a new part but thanks for telling me that and ill do a test...would it be better to do a engine off key on test or do the test with it running

I'm all for using tester's but I've seen and heard of others giving out erroneous codes, it's always good to follow the sticky JCMS wrote and use the CEL or an analog volt meter to get the codes, also record the codes with a camera and watch it a couple of times (can't hurt to post the video here either) then after both KOEO and KOER tests start the KOEO test again and pull the jumper wire while it's still giving codes to reset the codes, this way if anything comes back you know it's current.
As for exhaust, I've seen quite a few rear pipes all bent and mangled but have yet to see them damaged by the tires, that being said I like the way they look going out the back better than behind the tire and that better than on the cab side of the tire.

Personally I wouldn't put it in front of the wheels on a short bed, you'll be getting exhaust in the cab with windows down or opening doors, just my opinion though because it's your truck.
