My 50cent mod
Just to a heads up on my mod the other day, on my 03 i had to cut all the way down to the bottom of Washington's nose to clear the valve cover, if not it was pushing the connection back when the valve cover was put back on. I also torqued everything down, nothing was loose, all went well and it run's great.

The harness was updated at some point. Kwik has the new harness with his new engine. He cut the quarter down the same way as described above. Don't know if he did that just for good measure, or if he saw something that left him less than confident in the updated harness design.

jwhitetail,
How many miles are on your truck? I have been considering pulling the VC's to re-torque everything, but since I don't need to do the 50cent mod I have been dragging my feet. I would hate to go to all the trouble to pull the covers if there isn't anything under there that needs to be re-torqued.
Thanks.

Those little tabs limit how deep you can insert the quarter.
I was getting ready to change the name to the 25 cent mod, just cut one quarter in half and insert one half on each side.

i found out last week that my truck has the updated harness and retainers. would it still be beneficial to to the .25 mod?
I have been trying to build some history with/for my truck since iv'e only had it for about 8K miles of it's life. i called a dealer last week (that i found out did some work about 2 years ago) and they said the MAP sensor, valve cover gaskets, and harnesses were changed. that was at about 140K miles.

I'm at 125,000 miles. I think I'm going to hold off on pulling the valve covers for now. I know that just because you didn't have anything loose doesn't mean that I won't, but free-time for wrenching is very hard to come by these days, so I think I should focus my efforts elsewhere.
THANKS!
THANKS!
