Thats what I was leaning towards, is the boots any better? I have read about the extra .5 inch and info to back it up, but didnt know if anyone had real world experience with it. Its only $50 more... and you get shiny stuff. Haha

Needing opinions on this so I can get this ordered soon. Anyone wanna throw there in?

Very expensive, Id love to have a 4 link air bag setup in the rear though! DIY??? Ideas...

So Im looking at VPmax intercooler boots from DAP and Crazy Carls intercooler piping kit with tubes (3.5") Crazy carls is 250$ and Vpmax is 205$ Not much of a difference price wise but as far as functionality which would you choose??

Ahh... ok, makes sense now. Is it a hard connection on the lower or is it a hose (butt connector) just wanna make sure PO didnt swap it out for a barbed fitting or something different. This helps alot, thanks!

Following, need to do this mod.

I guess I could just 90* over and around the oil filter? Can someone post a pic of this area so I can see how its routed factory?

Well the extra hose just laying there was just me messing as round. I wouldn't be putting it near enough to get hot lol... So I guess what I was after is there is supposed to be a metal pipe running back... yea I never had one, go figure. I guess I'll plum one up going straight back then go to hose from there. My father in law might have an extra one from his truck, I'll check that too.

Is this one showing ?@Mopar1973Man

I hope the video shows what I'm needing. @Mopar1973Man does this help?

Little update on the truck... In reference to the torn boots will this kit work? Stock intercooler... https://www.dieselautopower.com/crazy-carls-3-5-intercooler-piping-kit

Check this out.. How is the lower one routed?

Mainly the lower one (longer section) Is it routed up and around or side of fender or by the block...

I need a quick pic of how the heater core hoses are routed. Putting in new hose in atm and cant find pics of how its supposed to be routed...

This is what I have, slipped right onto the gear box..

Yea its all original, steering box and shaft. On my slip yoke there is a collar with a set screw, presumably to keep it from moving...

So in my "Dove in Head First" thread I mentioned that I got a Borgeson steering shaft upgrade while i had everything apart. I have read a few time in other places that you need to grind a flat spot on your gear box shaft and that the original flat spot is not used.? Why and why? Got the old one pulled off last night and was looking at how I was gonna fa-naggle this thing in there, but grinding a new spot on top of that - ge wizz...

Ill be checking it all over again tonight... Maybe I missed it. Hopefully the video will be good enough to see it. I like making these videos but man it takes so long to upload/post them on youtube. I wonder if using my gopro would help in the upload time and video quality... That would be a question for a computer guy..... @Mopar1973Man

Oh so I does go somewhere... I havent seen where it would go through the fire wall... Ill try and post up a video with what little progress I have made, and show the drain tube again... Gonna be taking the old steering shaft off tonight and replacing with the borgson! Dash frame is ready to go in! ******However I cant remember if I can get the dash top on with the frame all buttoned up? Advice?? Clutch is getting ordered today along with new gauges, pod, wiring. Went with a South Bend DD Multi Friction clutch rated at 650 on DAP other sites have it rated at 550-750... Industrial Injection states that I should be right at 700 with my turbo. 800 if I get a little bit bigger turbo! I dont really want to go bigger.....But I do wish I could compound my turbo with something else to get better response time and to maybe help with smoke control. Advice on this???

Oh, haha... I thought I was loosing it. My tube looked like it was connected to something... I guess it just drains into the floor

@trreed Good to know, I do have power locks and windows so ill check that this evening. Ill also keep an eye out for the "knob" if I do have the harness. Maybe I can snag some from FB marketplace. So does the heat and fold have a button(s) or switch(s) that you control it with? If so where did you mount it ?

This is for sure on the list, but I cant see or find where this drain connect too?

I am in love with these, how ever my truck doesnt have power mirrors. Tried a quick google search thinking it would be all over the place but I cant seem to find a wiring kit for power mirrors ( knob + wiring etc). Where would a feller look for something like that? Only other option would have to be finding a manual/manual tow mirror with the led markers. I didnt see them on the 1A Auto site...

Well I like multiple options, so I would build 2 versions...ha I dont tow very much so being in or around the goose neck wouldnt be to bad. I really thought about making a roof rack and welding it onto my flatbed rack (maybe detachable) This is a rough idea (below) I really think this idea is bad @$$ But I also think this would be cool in a truck with a bed on it...

No beuno
