Wicked Wheel and what else....
Well my new truck has some oil in the valley and its coming from the pedistal. So I plan on ordering a pedistal o-ring kit from ITP. Im also going to install my wicked wheel while I have it all apart. I was thinking of getting a ss hpx line from ITP also. Is there anything else I should do while I got her all torn apart?? thanks

I'd seriously consider the EBPV delete, and possibly bellowed up-pipes while you're in there. That way you pull it once, get all that done and shouldn't have to touch it again for many, MANY miles...

CCK's are easier to do when the turbo system is torn off aswell! Been there, glad I did the cck when I did. (uppipes, ebpv delete, non ebpv pedistal, TN HFO, CCK) It was a good wednesday off of work, to work on the truck

EDIT: I just found it. $145. CLICKY
