Talking One...

...HPX (KCM SS from ITP) installed in 25 mins. Idle is sure quieter. Has anyone had any problems with these leaking beacuse they didn't tighten these down enough?

Hutch and Harpoon will happen Saturday. Can't hardly wait...

Same here. Whatever I put together - stays together.

I definitely over tightened according to Dennis' instructions.

Anyhow, it is great. It definitely makes idle and cruising significantly quieter. As most know, it does nothing for the cackle during acceleration but the hutch should solve that on Saturday.

Everyone keep your eyes peeled.

I got my trial "cackle-killer" kit from Jason at DFA yesterday, complete with a HPX hose. I'm going to do the cackle kit installation first and see how everything is with just that one change. Once I sort of "wanutify" that mod, then I'll be putting in the HPX hose to complete the fuel/oil system balances. As soon as I get some "data", I'll be posting.

I ordered my HPX line the first week i bought my truck and it was definatly worth the money. Also when you get your hutch and harpoon mod done let us know some results I am very interested in hearing how much it helped and am considering doing it myself. Thanks.
