I haven't installed one yet but it's next on the list. You have 2 main choices. The haldex pure air plus available from erik's. About $350. Or an aftermarket copy of the bendix ad-9 24v. Its about $250 from www.anythingtruck.com.
I'm going to install mine behind the air tanks like the...
O I have no idea if there is really any performance increase with a d turbo. My truck already had the d turbo. I just installed the muffler which worked so well I can hear the turbo now over the exhaust noise. The slight whistle isn't annoying at all. Its just loud enough that you can tell a...
Well you can only hear a slight whistle while cruising. No whistle at idle. I don't think my phone recording the sound would really do it justice. In fact at idle its pretty quiet compared to without it. The size is nice too. It fits perfectly between the fender and the stack brace. Which...
I finally got tired of tripping over my muffler laying on my shop floor. So I installed it today. It's an aero turbine 3535. I must say that I am quite impressed with how quiet my truck is now. I can hear my "D" turbo spool up and whistle. Now to get the stack and muffler powder coated...
I highly suggest an air dryer instead of an alcohol evaporater. It keeps the water out of the tanks, lines, airpack, etc. This also helps deal with rust and prevents freezing.
If you already have the evaporater then they work excellent also. Just the old school way of doing the same thing.
Exactly what gimpy said. I'll add one more thing. Slide the little rubber boots on the injector lines up. It will help you see around the tubing nuts and the center bolt on the HH.
I should note that the top half of my stack will wiggle if you shake it with your hand. No big deal. I'll just bring it to a muffler shop and have them weld it for me.
Well I just got back from a test drive and to say I'm impressed would be an understatement. At an idle it has a nice hum. At full boar I still didn't need to wear my muffs. Now talking to someone while going down the road is still out of the question. I blame that mostly on tbe drivetrain...
Its uses a stainless steel air foil. This causes an acceleration of part of the gas flow. I don't know the exact technical details but basically it disrupts and cancels some of the sound waves. The entire construction of the muffler inside and out is stainless steel. The xl uses stainless...
Manufacturer isn't really important. On "paper" they are all the same. Some may prefer one brand or the other but nobody can prove that a White is better or worse than a Hercules. At least no evidence to that fact has been provern yet. The newest and most "improved" version would be the...
Not a problem. The 3535xl will probly require less fab work than the walker would. Its only 6 inches longer than the 3535. I was more concerned with low speed cruising off road. So I won't need quite as much sound reduction. I'm still going to wear muffs on the highway. Unless by some...
If taken care of, I see no reason why a multifuel can't go 100,000 miles. Truth of the matter is most of us don't know the full history of our trucks. Meaning we have no idea how abused it was in the military or by the previous private owner or owners.
In my line of work it isn't uncommon to...
Set engine to tdc on #1 with the mark on the harmonic balancer and pointer lined up. Pull the small square timing cover on top of the pump and make sure the mark is lined up with the pointer in there. Then look in the hole where the hh should be and you should see the edges of a thin piece of...
If you leave it 6x6 then I highly suggest 395/85/20's. They are 46" tall and really improve the overall performance of the truck. At least to me they do. They are also the biggest that will fit stock. Going any lager will require extensive fab work. Quite honestly I don't believe the...
