Thanks. The FM was on the truck when I bought it in January, I'm just now getting around to replacing it.

Yeah remeber to do the brake line and that bar is a PITA to lift up and keep in place while you are installing it on the axle. The thing weighs damn near 40lbs. Also you are not suppose to jack up the truck, so its gotta be sitting like it would normally be for everyday driving. I would highly recommend that if you have another person to help USE THEM.

Thanks for the heads up on the swaybar install. I will get someone to give me a hand and make sure I unhook the brake line from the axle tube.

the install isn't bad at all, really don't need anyone to help - other than "hold this damn bar as I am upside down and trying to put it in place" - and don't drop it on your head.

zip ties are your friend

So if I **** off my wife that day, I should not ask her to help me with it

I'm lazy, I like her on top

Oh...working on the truck, she won't help me anyway....lol

see, I don't think with my head......I use it as a device to stop parts from hitting the floor. (well, mufflers anyway - sway bar, not so much)

 

[truckin151]

I ended up using a floor jack to hold it in place. That is the most difficult part on doinig it because its just an akward possiton trying to get the bar up to the axle and holding it in place to mount it with little room to do it in. After that its a breeze

Like Froggy said...

Just zip tie it in place, and it should be easier to install.

Fastman TB just arrived. Going to install now. Muffler and pipe should be here today as well.

I still have my stock TB, if anyone wants to borrow it so you can send yours out to get ported let me know.

Going to install, be back later.

 

[glass3222]

Got the Borla today as well. Going to install it on Saturday. I will post pics and vids once installed.

 

[truckin151]

Nice, did you get the one from the guy on HTC? or did you get a different one?

 

[glass3222]

No I did not get it from him. I wanted the 12" oval, his was 15" round. He also had a turndown welded on and I found out that they are not legal in PA, I have to have the exhaust exit at a body line, and he would not send me pics of it.

 

[truckin151]

That sucks, oh well, you'll love the sound the XR1 gives ya.

 

[glass3222]

Instead of dumping it I am going to turn it out in front of the rear tire.

You will like the feel of the ported TB, just give the computer awhile to get used to it. I noticed more snappy throttle when I first did mine.
