The Agony of Defeat
 

Well, i found out this afternoon that i am not as mechanically inclined as i might have thought i was. i finally got time this afternoon to install the H&S EGR/Cooler delete kit, needless to say it kicked my A$$!:ouch: i made it to step 10 by the directions and things went down hill, the 15 mm nut that hold the housing on the front of the manifold can not be gotten to by any tool i own, nor can the very back one by the firewall! so as it started to get dark and feeling defeated, i put everything back on and slammed the hood, so i suppose i am going to have to find a shop to put it on for me because i can not stand to go through that BS again. if anyone has any reccomendations i would love to hear them.:scare2:

are'nt you pretty local to the same area jim and I live in which is around the lake fork area if so I am pretty sure jim and I could help you out

The cost of the fuel it takes you to drive up here to the lake will be a lot less than paying some shop to do it. Let us know and Lucus and I can help you out.
Maybe we'll get real lucky and Forced Induction will come down here from atop his high horse and show us all how it's done.. :lol88:

guys that would be absolutely awesome if yall could help me out!!:jump: if its not an inconvenience. and if it is all the same to yall, i prefer that forced induction have nothing to do with my truck. i dont need some A$$ hole that who's truck dont even have a clutch fouling it up!

did you ever make it back brother?

yah, man i made it back to the great state of texas, that place aint big enough to hold my ass. i been running around like crazy since i got home. im in the middle of changing careers. friday(tomorrow) is my last day with Willis Express. so im gonna have alot of free time on my hands so i was actually gonna holler atcha and see when would be a good time for me to come up to whack the abomination out from under my hood.

that is kinda hard getting to the bolts on the egr cooler delete. i was tempted to take a cut off wheel to it. the cast frame that holds the cooler is a bear too.

yah thats the problem i ran into.
