Well got a day off and it was good weather. Be wanting to paint the intercooler pipes for a long time. Took the afternoon to paint the pipes, clean all the oil and dirt buildup off the boots and clamps. Just all around sprucing up under the hood. Also did the zoodad mod. Time always flys by way to fast when I am having fun working on the truck. I also found out that the pervious owner put a throttle spacer in the passenger side intercooler-pipe, I didn't know these were available for diesels? Well what do you guys and gals think? Also take a look at the pic of the turbo wheel I know it is dusted a little because I had a cracked intake boot, but does it look bad enough to replace or am I ok?

Sorry for the long post and so many questions.

 

I'm digging the yellow, nice job.


P.S. Those are called intercooler pipes, not up-pipes. The up-pipes run from the exhaust manifolds up to the back of the turbo.

 

looks sharp!

 

Sorry about that jeff, it been a long day.

 

Looks Great!!! Wish I could find the time to do mine too!

 

No worries , all of the different parts names can run together sometimes.

 

Just did mine yellow also. Haven't had time to take a pic yet. Still working on the yellow on the plastic cover. Looking sharp yellow.

 

Looks good. I got my wife to paint the plastic cover for me. I don't have enough patients.

 

Really cleans up the engine compartment.

 

That looks Great, Nice work - I'm gonna have to do that one of these days , I got the yellow top az batt's and yellow Petes cover too.

 

looks good, what color is your truck?? I like the yellow alot!

 

How did you get that cover painted so well? that looks great, it all looks good!

 

My truck is white with all the brusgguards and other stuff in black.

 

All I did was take the cover off and masked all around the raised part of the cover. It was a real pain, and I still have to go back with a black paint marker and touch it up.

Does anybody have a comment on the condition of the turbo wheel?

 

Turbo wheel looks a little beaten up to me, especially around the perimeter edges of the vanes.

To be honest, though, the yellow looks so snazzy that it was hard to pay much attention to the wheel, but it does look like it is definitely in "less than ideal condition".
