    idle it up to about 1500 or 1700. that will create about 2 or 3 lbs of boost. and spray all connections for leaks. a few little bubbles will show a leak. now think how bad that leak will be at full boost! the cac will have to be pressurized to find if it is leaking.

    You can buy,end caps,fittings and gauge at lowes or most any hardware store. Take a few minutes to assemble but it's a lot cheaper.

    Check out weller radiator Wyoming Mi. They will probably beat most anybody's price,even with shipping for the cac.
    Be sure to take a good look at your injector harness.

    Having another harness installed with 6 new injectors just for insurance! With the kind of running I do can't afford a breakdown on the road from negligence! I don't mind spending money on my truck cause it makes the money! Thanks for the input!
