Message: [QUOTE="08BIGRIG, post: 456638, member: 3985"] Just wanted to let everyone know that we had two guys working on this pretty much all day and at times had a third. Used the torch a few times to loosen some bolts up as well as cut off some bolt heads that rounded off. The driver side manifold and up pipe come out pretty easy once you get all the bolts out of the turbo. The pipe that also comes down the drivers side that hooked to the egr cooler has to come out the passenger side once you get the passenger side up pipe out. Passenger side up pipe slides out the bottom as well on the passenger side. When installing the new manifolds, you are going to want to put the manifolds up near the block first. On drivers side you want to slide the manifold past the place it bolts up to be able to fit the up pipe i. Yes it is that tight in there and you will not get it in without doing this. Also before you tighten the manifold check that your up pipe fits. Mine did not and was hitting on the firewall by about a half an inch. We had to take a sludge hammer and beat the cab in pretty much to get it to fit on the drivers side. Even doing that, I still have a pretty bad rub when the engine torques. It is really load in the cab when the pipe rubs. I will get some pictures today for you to see what I mean. This is not a job that can be done in your driveway on a weekend unless you have all the tools and machines that a shop would have. One example of this is the ac recovery machine to drain the ac lines. Hopefully we can find a ebp tube today and get a dyno run. [/QUOTE]
