So while my truck sits in my garage waiting for a new u-joint, i decided to take a look at the AIH that was stuck in the new 5 way manifold. I took it off and thought to myself, ill just cut the element out of this and the stud out of the front of it sence i have no AIH on my truck andways it cant hurt anything. As anyone else done this or am i just making a stupid post?
If you go this route, be sure to grind it down or you are just putting a restriction right back in there. It projects about 3/4 of an inch into the intake...
Cutting it off won't hurt anything. It's just not as clean. Like Pop said, a Cummins drain plug fits right in that hole, and they're only a few bucks at the auto parts store.
I got a boost fitting in the 5 way already so i just need to block off the hole. Ill probably go and buy the drain plug when i get to the part store again. I was just bored and went and experimented today.
Yeah, I started out years ago with a plug, 20 or 22mm??? I cannot remember. When I got my gauges, I drilled and tapped that plug too and put my boost gauge fitting there. No big deal really.
