    My shop has talked me into going with a made in the USA Vista-Pro CAC instead of an imported Duralite CAC that is a Duralite copy for around $400 less. It has an 8 year/1,000,000 mile warranty.

    Anybody have any experience with a Vista-Pro CAC?

    It came into the shop and is ready to install on Tuesday. It appears to look just like a Duralite CAC with the seals. The great thing about it is that it is made in the USA.

    Do they make a oversized one like the dura lite? Helps lower egt and intake temps in high hp trucks and heavy work loads pulling hills.

    Looks like a Duralite copy to me and it is made in the USA.

    How tall is it? Dura lite also makes oversized ones for peterbilts and kenworth probably freightliners and western stars also. Depends what you got going on in front.

    I think it's about 4in longer and a 3/4in thicker.

    The vista pro looks nice. Just wonder if they can make the same oversized one like the dura lite. I'd be down to try one out.

    It is made for my Volvo and don't think for my truck it can come any taller and still fit.

    Yeah, I know how tall and wide the are for the volvos. End tanks are on top and bottom not on the sides.

    I really don't know if they do that. Give them a call and let us know if somebody else might need one too.
