sweet! how hard was it to get the mounting done where you put it? I'll bet a right angled drill was used. Even where I put it, I have had no issues off roading at all... here's a pic I just took of it.

Bail on it? maybe. Everytime I think about getting a new one, I think about the monthly payment. The one I have now is paid for. That usually convinces me to keep fixing it and deal with the problems.

lol heres how I look at it. once your repairs start to add up in a year more than what a years worth of payments are then it's time to get a new truck. so let's see probably 500 bux a month for a nicely equipped truck so yea 6k in a year until you would be better off financially to buy a new truck. 500 is a high payment estimate tho.

LOL, I hear ya.

Over the course of the last year, I've probably put about 6 grand into my Ram, but I think it was mostly stuffto help my truck live a longer life and not stuff to shortenit. When I hear about the mileage that these guy's are getting, THAT'Swhenmy head starts leaning in the "bail on it " direction.If I'm spending 80 bucks a week on fuel,and these guy's are spending that same 80 every OTHER week, THAT get's my head going.

realy the mounting was a breeze. I could only put in two bolts due to where I mounted it however it seems to be holding it's possition very well. I used my cordless drill and it just punched right through the frame like butter

quick update in byapss filter. . . . . .


Steve, did you notice a slight reduction in cold engine valve noise???

Normaly, it would take me about a minute before my valves would quiet down when the engine was cold. . .now it is within a few seconds of startup that things get rather quiet and I hearmy normal injectorknocking (been doing it since day one). I know it is from the filler cap return. . .but I didnt expect it to act as quickly as it does

yup, sure did. quieted it down right away. I'm looking into the valve adjust next week sometime so I'm sure that will make it quieter even more...
