    We did here too, but as long as the rain held out.

    It got windy, so I closed up shop, had lunch, and came back out; the wind settled down, so I finished it up.

    I couldn't believe how much coal dust was intake under the grid heater plate and intake part of the head.

    I went in and vacuumed it all out.

    Under the grid heater plate, it has to be 1/8" thick even coating.

    Coating over the grid heater further hinders airflow, and the stock elbow does the same deal.

    I can see what many EGR delete.

    This AM, I see sunny and frost everywhere, meaning it will be a nice day today.

    I have two buddies that bought these (all in a span of 3 days between the 3 of us), so I will probably end up doing theirs also.

    The next one will go easier as it was easy enough already.

    I haven't driven it yet, but I could really feel the throttle response right away as soon as all the air self-purged from the fuel lines.

    OK, I warmed the truck up and took a road test, and all went well.

    You can feel better throttle response off idle and harder pulling on accel.

    Like more air, a little different noise from under the hood is flowing.

    It flows 88% more air over the stock setup.

    IMHO, it is a good investment for saving you from killing your engine, and a great side benefit is that it much more airflow/power.

    OK, another install for one of my buddies next Saturday, the weather being OK, of course.

    OK, doing Monster RAM kit install #2 tomorrow (Sunday); this one will be red and should go quicker than my last one.

    The first install is still fresh in my head.

    I'll take a few pictures.

    3 hours, start to finish.

    Went seamless.

    Except for all the codes, it kicked up because I forgot to plug in the big bulkhead connector, connected, cleared codes, and was done.

    Looks great and was done in record time.

    Did you need to completely remove the #6 injector line or loosen it from the fuel rail?

    Besides vacuum the intake plenum, did you need to scrape the soot or use solvents?

    No, leave the #6 line on the injector feed tube; just undo it from the rail.

    It's the only line you dont fully remove.

    The front line, ie #1, is not reused; the kit comes with a new one.

    I scrape the intake cover mounting surface really clean, I have a carbide scraper, and I drag it backward, ie pull to clean the mounting surface.

    Some debris falls in the intake part of the head.

    When I am all done, I take my shop vac and vacuum out the intake before setting the new unit on.

    Use medium thread locker on everything.

    I set a bolt in each hole before tightening the plate to keep it all aligned.

    Then I installed the monster ram, knowing those 6 bolt holes were open for the Banks supplied bolts.

    Got all the tricks down, a fuel pressure sensor in the back of the rail, get all lines out of the way, unbolt rail, pull outward, flip over, undo plug.

    Easy peasy.

    This one did have a few things different, nothing earth-shattering.

    I didn't even read the instructions.

    Bob, if you dont have this, you need it.

    It fixes a serious issue that really shows up in colder areas, i.e. Alaska, and you get the great side benefit of an 88% increase in airflow.

    OK, still have #3 to install.

    Last time I warn all my buddies about this.

    #3 is another red one on a 17, and technically,#4 is on an older 02, but it's just a Monster RAM, and boost tube, with no grid heater issues.

    Simple one really.
