I haven't done the foil delete either. I'm thinking about repalcing the IC tubes alltogether. Plus Spearco 6.0 IC. I need to do the IC anyhow, why not replace the IC tubes as well? Thats my thinking anyhow

So I got to loosen all four clamps on the boots and then it will slip right out also to get the glue off after putting brake cleaner &WD-40 could I use a brush grinder to remove the glue or just a brush on a drill.? I am starting to get addicted. Started with the 6637, now the foil, thinking of a Zoodad while I am at it.
Thanksa bunch guys I always love the response at FTE and helpful advise... Thanks guys

The dealer is Gullo Ford in Conroe. I have the service manager's card in the truck in my book if you need his name.
I have bought a couple of cars there. Not sure if maybe that has anything to do with it. Probably not as if they can get out of fixing something then they will.

Thanks, Scott. That would be a hell of a drive from the north side of the metro-mess to Conroe for warranty work. Maybe I'll just be straight with them up here and see how they react. I'll pull the DP, though...

Some guys have done that, but I found the chemical solution worked well for me. If you look at the thread I posted earlier, you can see how mine came out with not too much trouble, and no glue boogers shootin' all over the place off the wire wheel. 
I used a wire brush for some of the stubborn areas, but that was it.

Well I gotta go to town in the morning so I'll pick that up and get to work on getting that cleaned up. Probable should do the CCV while I have the intake tube off.

I will do that today while I am at it few elbows, clamps and a hose right? Just hook it to the port under the intake tube near the turbo and run it out the engine? Does it actually cut into the intake tube? Sorry for all the newbie questions just wanna make sure I get it all right.
