    One of my trucks has the intake for the compressor coming off the intake manifold, the other has it’s own intake filter, which I’m partial to.
    Him low on boost makes me think it’s intake related earlier in the intake, however you may well be right.

    @PoleCrusher you did say the other day you looked over the intake piping post turbo very closely, did you not? I would look there first, esp being that it was just touched by a strangers hands. Then I’d be looking hard at the charge air, all round the outside.... where a stranger might have gotten rough with her or banged something into it n cracked the housing.
    Personally.

    Maybe it’s a compressor line.
    maybe it’s intake piping/clamp.
    Maybe there’s a rag in one of the clamps on the inside.....doubt that would let you get far before a Big Bang happened though.


    I’ll never claim to be a mechanic lol I seen a couple things though.

    RS had reverse on valance below bumper. And solid red tail lights
    You could get a plain Jane 68 or 67 or SS with reverse and stop bite in the same lens cluster.
    The bottom picture is RS package you can get that with the SS also it changes out the gas cap cover you'll see SS on the gas cap if it's a RS SS.

    Hahaha, It'll look good when you are done. :)
    People not painting parts before install is kinda a pet peeve. Had a truck come in from the local auction. Brand new CAT head on it unpainted and still coated in the blue shipping grease. I hop they at least cleaned off the sealing surface but I doubt it.

    I had to go look at that. Boy that would be great for a boat owner.

    Now could Milwaukee made something like that so you dont need another brand of battery to be dead when you wanna use it?
