My replacement fuel line came in a week earlier than the dealer predicted. Been up since 6 yesterday afternoon (its 9:30am now) so i will try and get a buddy to give me a ride down to the dealer tomorrow to pick it up and to tow my truck over to the shop where i can do some work to it. I'm loving our new work schedules i am off work its thursday morning and i don't have to go back to work till monday morning! long weekend every weekend!!!

Replaced the Fuel line today, was frikin easy. seriously just two bolts on top of the tranny for the bracket, disco both ends of the line with the proper tool and feed it out from the bottom, install is the reverse took maybe a hour to do and it got my truck up and running again.

next on the list to finish up this intake is building a CAI for it since i lost the mounting brackets for the stock box, finding a way to mount the AIT sensor and see how it goes from there

Thanks, i think i got it figured out, still tryin to get some time to figure out how to get the intake to seal down.

for all of those who are interested in doing this swap, its not as plug and play as i originally thought it would be.
going to the new intake requires you to block off some very large vacuum ports, you loose the mounting bracket for the stock air box, and you have to mount the air intake temp sensor to the air intake tube.

i think i'm going to work on the truck tomorrow so i'll take some pics and do a write up

It adjusts the spedometer for new tire sizes, you can do new gears, and It has a spark advance feature which i have been too scared to try yet haha.
It comes with 3 tunes, Economy, Performance and Towing. The Economy I haven't used yet, it uses regular fuel, and the Performance and Towing use premium. I noticed a good gain with Performance due to my true dual exhaust, intake and larger throttle body.
