My first mod when I bought my Mustang was the sound tube delete. That ugly hose running from the intake to the firewall behind the master cylinder. It's there to carry engine sounds into the cabin.

I don't know why that Mustang 5.0 "sound tube" was ever created in the first place. Even before, or, especially before I modified, slightly, my Coyote 5.0 XLT's exhaust, my truck-cams 5.0 still sounded like an NHRA Pro Stock machine when running it through the gears at w.o.t.

Love the intake noise this engine makes.

For now I ‘m gonna leave it , my wife likes the way it sounds. I kind of do too. Speaking of great sounding engines.... check out “Millets engines Ford 429 Boss Hemi”: video. Best when played thru Speakers....

Installed a Tuffy security insert in my console. Not as good as a full box bolted to the truck, but good enough to keep valuables secure for short times. Vandals would have to make a show outta destroying the truck to get into it. Adding a remote start/security system in the fall, which should make me feel better still.

Picked up a new set for the deck.
Free!

Then washed those and figured I might as well wash the truck while i was at it.

Hard water spots suck.

Could easily tell by the foam cannon volume I was using the hard water and didn’t switch the valves over in the basement to soft water.

My poor truck has been neglected...for two weeks we have had day time rains and at night they are grinding the roads on about 15 miles of my daily drive (there and back) it's either like driving thru a dust storm or a mud bath. Three chips in my windshield and one dirty truck. On a positive though when done it will be nice roads.
