i don't understand this one

Ghetto? Yes. But I think it’s quite ingenious to use a tb as an exhaust cutout valve.

I think they were referring to the fact that it's blowing super hot air right onto the floorboards, without a turndown or anything, more than that.

Yeah I saw that too. As long as its an Al. TB and not a plastic one I could see it work. But I would add a turndown and I not sure how tight that seal would be?

You don't understand why it's fail, or why someone would do that, or you're joking?

lol. i don't understand what he did wrong. he gave himself a rediculous lift kit, but idk anything about those

He extended the shackles (were the leaf spring mounts). This is about the worst way to lift a truck unless you are doing about an inch with revolver shackles (gives better flex offroad). Image a truck on stilts, and that is what it is. The first time thoes home made shackles bend the entire truck is going to collapse and roll. Blocks would be a better way to lift it and even that is limited to a few inches MAX, and is still a bad idea.

Not to mention that he did not add any forward bracing (look at a sideways view of a monster truck) to them so the first time he hits a decent bump or rock offroading, his "lift" will buckle the entire suspension which will just about total his truck.
