The whole kit is available, however installation on the older trucks is usually not covered in installation...... so it would be do it yourself.

If you use the 4071, I think that's the right number, filter it's precharged with SCA's. That's assuming the IDI's require the same SCA's the newer trucks use.

Using a precharged is a good idea, at first i would use a plain filter and plain on changing it every month for a bit.it took about a month for mine to gunk up, easy way to tell if its gunked up is after the truck is hot the filter will remain cold
