Tyler, I just noticed in a earlier thread you had 2 injectors go and you were concerned that maybe your programmer had something to do with it. I just had to replace 2 injectors also and was curious if you have had any more issues since you put ur programmer back on? am I safe to do the same?
Yes, I replaced 2 injectors. Tuned it for a few days acted up again, took the tune out and never had an issue again...
I think it was just the tuner, its really up to you.

The Y pipe is just a PIA to do.
I did mine over the winter with a better unit from Elite Diesel.
It took me about 4 hrs.
Take the alt off and then I used these directions for replacing a turbo to get to the y pipe.
Also get the turbo o-ring kit for a dealer, it is like $20.

Another question, did you have to replace the bolts that attach the "y" pipes to the manifolds? Were they corroded?

Did your Elite Diesel "y" pipes have the connection for the EGR cooler? The picture on the web page only shows two flex sections and I think there should also be one for the EGR cooler tee.

No the bolts were fine, I soaked them with PB Blaster the night before.
I think you can get new bolts from Ford if you need them.
