Howdy from Houston (Baytown)

Picked up a new to me 08 after the Harvey floods. 111k on the clock, but plenty of service records to make me feel good about it.


Dpf/Doc deleted, running a gearheadz 4.0 +, No Limit CAI, and CCV mod kit ordered, and waiting for delivery.


I ordered EGR block off plates, but it looks like a full on cooler delete kit is almost the same in the difficulty level, so now I am reconsidering which way to go there. If I go full delete I will likely need to go through a shop.

Though the idea behind them is awesome, the pumps on them are questionable.

They've left far too many people I know on the side of the road because the pump failed; in short order too...

SRW or DRW? It makes a slight difference in the procedure and tools required to do the job.

Any of you guys have what you would deem to be excessive AC drainage?


I idled in place for 5-10 minutes this morning, and the puddle from the condensation drainage covers the width of my truck.


I checked for puking evidence, and didn't see any, and my coolant level is at the same level that it's always been. On top of all that I didn't have a temp spike in the coolant either.

That it was, in hindsight I know it's ac related, because if I run with the AC off I get no puddles


These are just really friggin big puddles
