can anyone tell me how to get the fan shroud off this truck? ive searched and cannot find anything. i have the turbo and pedistal removed, just cannot get the intake completely disconnected. for those of you just tuning in, iam replacing the STC fitting and the egt cooler is in the way and appears the intake has to be removed to get at the HPOP cover. thanks

I believe removing the intake is the best way to go for the STC fitting - I didn't think that you HAD to though.. I can post some help (I hope). Just give me a few minutes.
Actually - can you PM me your email address? I have a pdf that might help you.

Remove the shroud:
The fan shroud is very simple to remove on these trucks. Remove all the "Christmas tree" plastic pushpins that secure the upper sight shield to expose the main battery positive cable crossover. Disconnect all those push clip connections to the upper rad support. Remove all four 8mm bolts that secure the upper rad support brackets. Disconnect the upper rad hose from the rad, as well as the small hose from the coolant degas bottle. Remove the two 8mm bolts that secure the shroud to the rad. Push the rad toward the front of the truck and pry the shroud upward CAREFULLY to remove.

These should help. Note the first fix was to add a bracket, then the permanent fix was the one piece connector.

according to slide 28 and so on... there should be 2 o-rings inside the connector. I only had one. that makes me feel alot better.
