What have you Done to your truck today
#152
Ibought the kit at western auto, but you can buy it anywhere car related I think. I will eventually find a picture of the box and put it up. Oh an I must disagree about the little pooper charger (aka supercharger thing lol) It did exactly what I wanted it to do. Made burnouts easier An its a little quicker now. I only have an inline four so anything helps.

I think it's just misleading that they call it a supercharger. Did you have a normal cold-air intake before? My daily is a 4-banger so that's what I know best.
I picked up a $20 kit from Advanced Auto and did my truck's headlights yesterday actually. They both look better, but driver's side has water inside the plastic, so it doesn't look near as good as the passenger's side. Overall I'm pretty impressed though.
Also got a K&N drop-in filter and put it in there. Hopefully that'll boost the gas mileage a tad and give it some extra go.
Washed the entire engine & engine bay by hand (what I could reach of it anyways) and it looks worlds better. I need to bust out some degreaser and go over some of the stuff again though.
I'm thinking next thing is going to be deleting the stock muffler and running straight pipe from the cats back. Hopefully that'll make it sound real nice and add a little kick in the pants.

Yesterday me and my friend put in this electric supercharger type thing on my ranger. Goes in front of the air filter forces more air through. Everything went great till the mechanic wanna be wired two wires backwards an touched metal. Watched all of my wires to underglow, and strobe lights smoke away. :/ Ripped every wire from power source and been waiting for ran to stop. Got to pull all wires out make sure he did not burn away and electric tape keep anything from touching metal hopefully I dont have to replace everything. So much for him knowing what he is doing. Told him Imma just learn myself this time and do it myself. Ah oh well just an learning lesson. Thank goodness truck was ok

Like I said I got it for free. I spent no money on it, and my friend almost fried it lol. I took over and did it myself an changed it fine. If its free Ill take it. Low on money cant afford changing everything else. And I did not do it for the power. I knew it would give me very little to none. I wanted to learn how to do that stuff myself.

Oh man, I thought I was makeing a fashon statement where the concrete truck sprayed the front of my truck. never thought of the bug thing!!!!!
go to home depote, get a piece of 4" flexable dryer vent tube. take it from your air cleaner box to the back of the front bumper. instant fresh air, and the truck WILL run better, and get better mileage. all for about $2.
