yup what he said...


its a crappy thing that speed density efi has to have so it can meter the air/fuel mixture

as to where MAF uses a sensor in the intake tube to get the air flow and temp reading

but i looked at the prices for those kits and i think ill get it anyway just to be safe and if its already been done then ill just send it back or sumthin idk yet but ill definitely check to see if its aluminum...

:P

^^^Thats a pretty good DIY on the plenum, and the earplugs was a neat trick, So i guess we dont need Purpls after seeing this one.., lol j/k

 

He'll never finish it anyway. He always tells us "next week" every other week, it seems.

 

The most bang for the buck you're going to get is from (tow-safe) chipping the critter. And if you're going to be towing, get a stouter transmission because the factory unit is just too darn weak. For not all that much more than paying someone else to remove/replace with a stock rebuild you can pick up a PATC Viper (or something similar done by a local shop) and install it yourself. So do that and throw on an aux trans cooler and that worry will be gone.

Headers are great, my truck's going to get some this year, but if I were going to be towing often or far I'd do these things first. And if the trans is too much of a drain on the wallet, at least get the cooler in there, get the bands adjusted, and hope for the best.

 

been busy the past day or two but here are a couple pics i took today of the truck



yes thats a police tag



the hood thats on it is an actual cowl induction hood so the 14x3 air filter will work great...

any ways what do u all think

 

looks good dude! I like the brush guard and hood

about the plenum, take the airbox off and look down in there with a flashlight. If you see oil, plenum's gone. Also, if you have one of those telescoping magnetic pickup tools, stick that down in there and see if it sticks to the plenum pan. If it sticks, it is the stock steel plate.... We are plenum geniuses around here lol

 

lmao i didnt think about that

ill do that next time i have the truck out lol the more stuff i do for him the cheaper the truck is getting... like today when i put the new leaf springs under that ancient camper hooked behind the truck.. he gave/took off $100 and i do alot of stuff for him lol

 

i had the cats off my truck because i wanted it loud and had to put them back on for emmisions, im happy i did cause i gained alot of low end back !

do a tune up and change to sythetic and add a tuner you may have the death flash and thats whats killing you

then get into fastman,1.7hs,longtubes,manifold ,sct tuner

 

well i drove the truck to my dads sunday and found out that it hasnt had the plenum fixed because u can hear it pinging....

fuel mileage isnt that bad... 11.3mpg

so maybe it will be better after i fix it....

i took another picture too



i had to trim the apple tree coz the branches was blocking the view when backing out of the driveway....

ill cut it down eventually...
