Yep -- me too. If you don't have the in-tank mods, order it from him at the same time. Some of the best money you'll spend on your truck (besides joining FTE, of course!!).

I'm a little late to this discussion, but I have both, and they make a difference. You can read my in-depth evaluation report from the link in my signature... 4th item down the list of "Guides".

I am operating off the top of my head and beer here, but I believe KCM makes that SS X-connect. Do a search for it, or wait for our sponsor.

Hey, thanks guys. They are the same one as best I can tell. When I look at it on ITP site and click the pdf file for install, it shows the install instructions from KCM. The price is a little better from KCM, so I guess I'll order from them. I think I'll start w/ the up pipe donut replacements, I read to get the carquest ones somewhere, then the 6637, order from sponsor here, a walker btm, from ?, and this x-connect. Rep points WILL be left!!!

Watch out for replacing just the donuts - mine were bad enough I had a hole in the side of the up pipe. And it is a bad design - prone to leak. When I redo mine AGAIN, I am going to do the bellowed up pipes. A little more expensive, but more of a permanent fix.

Walker BTM from Black Cloud Diesel (http://www.blackclouddiesel.com/Ford/walkermuffler.htm). I have the ITP HPX SS cross-connect (from KCM). The directions are the same but they were shipped to me black and white. When you first find the plugs it is easier to print a color copy from the ITP site and use those pictures. I removed both CAC tubes and intake tube for a better angle to torque the fittings (I was removing the CAC tubes anyway since they are covered in oil) and it made it a lot easier (I was using my tow rings as steps).

As a side note, if you want to clean off your CAC tubes when they are caked with grime just rub some waterless hand cleaner on them and wipe them off and, viola, clean tubes. And if you have any stains on your engine block use a nylon bristle brush and some vinegar and the stains will scrub away. Just some tips for those interested...

Thanks brian42. I hope to be starting soon on these little things. I just need to save up some cash since Christmas was a drain. Oh well, a few things at atime and the next thing you know it'll be on to bigger and better, like a dp!
