        Careful about swapping thermostats on an OBD truck. The computer need to
see that the truck hits a specific temperature in a certain amount of time.
 Otherwise the computer reads a malfunction. The '97s run pretty cool
already.

Definitely dump the factory exhaust.....at *least* up to the manifolds. Do
it in stages if yer wallet (most of our wallets) won't allow more.
