Yea mine is resting on the coolant elbow. Took a 1x6 Board with a 4lb hammer to knock the aluminum adapter piece with O-ring on the throttle valve. Overall I was just disappointed with the quality of the kit. Had it blow off once while driving down the road so I tightened the dog **** out the...

thanks for that but obviously i followed those directions and i still could not get the connection air tight. not sure if the coupler piece i have is just a hair big on the interior diameter or what?

nobody have any any experience with the kit?

https://www.rudysdiesel.com/product-p/cmi-04.htm So I my factory plastic intercooler pipe cracked and bought this kit from Rudys cold side intercooler pipe upgrade kit; it arrived surprisingly fast (1.5 days basically so i'm happy there). I tried to install it last night but the thing literally...

Messaged you

heard chop-stix was legit lol jk

yea i knew the intercooler wasn't really about power gains. but I was curious about the other benefits from the piping kit. torque & throttle response would be the biggest perks in my mind lol

agreed. like to know what the difference might be in power

ok gotcha. thanks for the clarification on that!

got about 20k miles out of my 35x12.5r20 ridge grapplers. they have probably 60% or so life left. they will spin wet or dry if i get on it but they feel more stable while towing and in the mud they'll keep pulling

so was the loss of torque of the first two runs compared to the 3rd run attributable to the billet wheel or was it a tweak in tuning? I'm interested in the billet wheel but was wondering if the torque loss was directly related to the billet wheel?

i would think what's in his signature. i gotta get a new turbo at some point lol this 15+ pump is driving me nuts just sitting here

mine was painted to match by the previous owner in 2011 but it like the mirror caps, are starting to look pretty rough now. need to have all 3 redone

OP just a heads up I priced a 15+ turbo swap kit from Sunrise about 3 months ago and it was a little over $1900. not bad at all IMO but unfortunately life had some different plans for that money. you may be set on something different or a more aggressive setup like the streetmax but figured i'd...

what sootie said is all true. i bought some LED's for like $60 and they don't do much better than the factory halogens as far as output goes other than the color is nicer. I used to have the nicer sylvannia silverstar light bulbs but they just aren't the most durable bulbs (they lasted maybe 8...
