It's that tinking noise caused by the fast moving gases hitting the thin tubing.

 

Just did my original o2 sensors. Who designed that one on the right side? That one sucked. Only one hand could fit at a time and had to get the connector blindly from the top. But it's all done now. New Ranchos will be here tomorrow and new front calipers will be here next week. Then waiting for newer style tow mirrors to get in stock from 1aauto. Man that tax refund went fast.

How long should I leave neg cable off battery for new o2 sensors?

 

That actually looks pretty good. Report back on your results.

 

X2!


I put in a new FPR in our 95 351 work truck that has a miss under load. I have replaced it all in this truck and the miss won't go away. It seems better after every time I do something and then it comes back.

Today I put together a conjobulation of fittings and braided hose to a air pressure gauge. I got a reading of 19psi at idle off the fuel rail and close to 29psi with the vacuum line off the fpr. So I pick up a new FPR, and see 25psi with vacuum line on, and 32psi with vacuum line off. Its better, not sure how accurate the air pressure gauge is. Driving the truck it did seem better but like I said after each thing I did it did seem better for awhile. We will see how it goes.

 

How did you attach it?

 

Adam, My rig is more quite at idle with the Banks headers. My son said it sounds like Prius. Once you start to roll into the gas it sounds kinda cool, you get a cool woosh sound like the air rushing into a turbo without the turbo whistle. Once at cruising speed the exhaust note doesn't sound much different than stock, my exhaust is all stock from the cat back. No header knock at all. My rig earns it's keep by towing our ToyHauler and the first trip with the headers I saw over 1.5 MPG gains at 63-65MPH in OD on I-95 from home to Savannah GA and back compared to a trip over the same route last year. I think most of the gain was due to being able to stay in OD, in the past the truck would drop down on rolling hills and the MPGs would suffer, now it holds OD much better, it didn't drop down once over the entire trip. I see slightly higher RPMs with the 4.88 gears so I think that the headers help me even more. It sure feels like the power is up across the RPM range, it'll smoke 'em now!

 

The edging has a small lip on it that I screwed into the bottom of the original air dam with self tapping screws (painted black).

Then I took four 3" angle brackets and screwed them into the blocker beam with self tapping screws.

Then I also centered up one 4 inch bracket and used a "push button" through a hole i drilled in the bottom lip that is like a tube. You can't see any fastners any where.

Then I just trimmed the sides with a jigsaw and that's it.

 

today is may 17th...can anyone tell me whats wrong with this picture?

taken at 5pm supposed to keep going till tomorrow at noon.

 

Sweet! I hope we get some more of that!

 

If the cat-back has been replaced it will give a nice rumble at idle. Mine does.
At cruising it's pretty quiet.
Only at accelerating it's louder.

 

I saw a picture of mine, sure do miss her.

 

not lovin it!

 

i know, neither am i.

i was really ready for spring/summer!!!

update as of midnight

 

+1 to all three of those statements.

 

I bet! Any idea when Chris will be done with her?
