Well, I got new injectors in today. Has way more power and runs better. Have to test the hard start problem tomorrow. Now, how to tell the wife about that expense???

Oh wow! What did you go with for injectors? Stock?

Yeah stock. AKA cheapest possible. I may have been able to get by three, but did all of them.

I was mostly referring to Tom's one about vendors. I didn't get to read Jay's, it was edited already???

Not piped yet. Gonna drive it a few days now and see how it goes. Then do some more work on it.

But it will be piped for sure! LOL

I see, well we were due for some excitement in here I guess!

I did remover the foil from the intercooler tube while it was out, and rebuilt the power steering pump!

EDIT: Yeah, I have pipe still from before to remove the muffler too. So it will be cheap and easy!

Cool that foil is a pain to remove isn't it? Now you need the 6637 filter and get rid of the stock one!

It was. I used some laquer thinner and steel wool. Worked decent, but was a pain still. I have to do a different air filter for sure. The factory cover is cracked so unfiltered air could get in...

Well the 6637 is what I have and is cheap to do if you are on a budget. It is a little more noisey than some of the more expensive CAI's but I like the sounds of the turbo myself.

Yeah cheap can be good sometimes. That is the nice thing about the 6637 cheap and does a great job filtering and has been run on trucks with high hp! I think Tom is the only one in our group that isn't running one of them.

Well, I will put that next on my list then. It needs to be done so I don't have to worry about anything getting in there.

Yeah I think you will like it. If Jay brings his truck by for you to look at his brakes then you can take a closer look at his. Otherwise do a search in the 7.3 section and there is a ton of info on it.
