Still need to install my egr blocker, pcv reroute, and then shim it. After than it will get a downpipe, lift pump, and afe intake.

How big of tunes are you running?

Those tie rods are the tits.. i love mine.

I replaced my FPR about 4 months ago. It was a major PITA but the trucks runs so much smoother afterwards. I had about 2K PSI difference in my commanded vs. desired rail pressure and it was all over the map and didn't idle smooth.

That rail plug is tightened by the hand of god. Your going to want a good 6pt 18mm and alot of ass to get it loose. The blocker wasn't bad because i just put a strap around the wrench and pulled from the other side of the truck to get it broken loose so i had some leverage. And the down pipes aren't bad like everyone makes them out to be. I had mine changed in 2 hrs.

Lift pump always helps a ton since these trucks don't have one from the factory and that mouthpiece will help keep it cool if you tow and helps alot with flow.

Yea i know im rambling but seriously if you need a hand just let me know. I don't mind helping and its a night and day difference in the truck.
