ok i have an 04 4.7 and me and my dad got after it the other day. i def couldnt have done it myself the first time but id be confident to put it on anytruck with the same engine i have now that i know the process. took about 2 hours to do the whole thing, taking stock parts off and putting new parts on. the truck sounds amazing. the intake makes the exhaust even louder at wot. from 70-100 is like nothing and the truck keeps pulling i had to hold it back so i didnt hit the 106 shutoff point. (does it actually shutoff or just hold the speed from going over 106???) havent noticed a big improvement in mileage but ive been driving it harder than i normally do and it hasnt gone down any. on the test drive me and my dad got 12.4 (up from 12.3) and that was ******* it, testing out 0-60 times (ill do a seat-of-the-pants 0-60 test later on and post it) any one whos thinking about this mod and is still on the fence about it will be pleased. i ordered it late tuesday so the order went into the computers wednesday morning. they said it should be in in 3-5 business days so i was expecting it in 5 business days but it came in on friday exactly 3 days after i ordered it. the instructions were good and detailed but not detailed enough. had to read some of the steps twice and reread some previous steps and preread the next few steps to fully understand some of it but it wasnt anything that any of yall couldnt figure out. it came with all of the parts needed and had some extra washers and bolts left over. on one step you had to remove the 13mm bolt from the upper fan shroud and you were supposed to replace it with and 8mm bolt that they were supposed to provide but there wasnt one so we just reused the 13mm bolt with no problem at all. some of the bolts the instructions told you to use a certain size socket to remove it and the socket ended up too big but my dad pointed out that the kit was developed in 02 and was supposed to fit all 02-05 dodges with the 4.7 and that in between 02 and 04 (the year model of my truck) they might have changed bolt sizes on that particular part. all in all im pleased. price wasnt too bad but im just a teenager who only has to pay for gas and whatever else i want to do for fun so i make enough money to afford gas for a month (i have a gas card and write my parents a check at the end of the month for whatever amount of gas i used.) and still have been able to build up my checking account over the summer but for some of yall who have a family to provide for and car notes and house notes to pay off and insurance and utility bills to pay it might be a bigger hit. it was 322.44 and after tax came to 349.09. for anyone interested in ordering this the part number is 571529. sorry for the long post but ive noticed alot ofposts about CAIs on here lately and i hope maybe this will answer some ppls questions about it. feel free to ask any questions. i might try to take some pics of it later on today.
