Your close, gaskets pooched...............but theres a big list of other stuff too...........some i can mention, some i can't :muahaha: I will give a write up(when i have time) which might help with some of the turbo applications, so they don't have the grief i have had for months -:t

#1 Jeremy, when i mentioned the BANKS Intercooler needed some parts removed for it to be installed correctly I didn't think you would take it this far.

Is it too late to send the instruction manual?:D


#2 LOL... It isn't a POWERSTROKE!

You really don't need to pull the cab off to check the fuel level in the oil!:eek:



I hope all the BOMBs go well!:ro)

Thats funny, because we actually were joking about that. Figured we had to ask a Ford guy how to fix things quick, as they do it all the time ):h .

We were gonna do that, but the damn brake lines were in the way :( :D

Suprising it doesn't take all that long to take the cab off, and makes things one hell of alot easier to access valvetrain................and to check out how big the crack was in the trans tailshaft that connects to the t-case:eek:

Keep working out the bugs and forging ahead to make a better combination for the rest of us! I am sure that I am not the only one holding out to see how these and other systems progress. Thanks! :grd:

At least you'll have no trouble hitting all 11 zerks on the front end after swapping that fuel filter!!

Now that is going to the extreme to knock a second or so off your 1/4 mile time ;)

Guess it makes it easier to work around stuff huh?

The lift pads go under the FRAME and not into the wheel wells.
