When i put my fuel plate in, the break off bolt had a hole in it like everyone saysand i hammerd the torx bit in with no issues. i was going to tune by friends pump, and there was no hole, so you cant jam a torx bit in it. What should i do? has anyone had this type of break off bolt on their AFC housing? it almost looks like a rivet? What gives? the truck is the same year as mine? any suggestions?

 

You can use a chisel, just be careful.

 

to bust the head off? or make a notch in it?

 

you can knock a notch in it then use a flathead screwdriver to get it out jsut make sure the chisel is sharp

 

mine is still in there with no head

 

ya, i will attempt it tomorrow, i told the kid it would be ok if we knocked it off and just left it, i got mine off, and didn't even put it back in so im onley runnning 3 of the 4 bolts, with no issuses. thanks for the advice. BTW, were do i get the gasket for the intake? Napa got that? i don't trust the gasket after takin it off twice.

 

I'm sure NAPA does have the gasket although I have had mine off at least 10 times and never have replaced it. I am also only running 3 of 4 in 3 of these trucks with no problem.

 

Yaboy, all the more reason, now i won't feel as bad breaking it!

 

o hell ive had my intake off almost 100 times since ive owned the truck and the were still good

 

if your worried about it you can find a matching bolt at any hardware store. whoever put the banks plate in mine was nice enough to not break the bolt. i replaced it and the flat head screw with regular bolts. so now all of mine come off with the same wobble socket.
