Yeah, get it done ASAP. Only takes about 10 minutes and your engine and CAC will thank you. On another note...if you start building high boost the boots will start blowing off because of the amount of oil that is blowing through the system. If this happens pull them apart and clean them. When you reinstall them run a small bead of silicone on the inside so that it will help them stay put.

 

Another trick is Aquanet Hair Spray. Spray the inside mouth of the hose/tube. It'll slide right on, then dry sticky and hold tight. But, not too tight to release.

 

another method is to use windex, they slide nice and easy and get sticky when it dries

 

Grrrrr With all this stuff there is to do... I'm gonna be workin on my truck when I'm not at work or in school... or sleeping :S:

One of ya'll wanna come fix my truck for me?

So would this PCV system be a good idea for anyone? I am going to get an 05 GMC LLY thursday. And I just read up about this PCV deal, the EGR blocker and finger stick. I know alot about car stats and stuff like that just cuz I'm looking at it alot.... but when it comes to building and fixing stuff on cars, all I know to do is pop the hood.

I understand that they help out with prolonging different parts and making your rig run more efficiently but how much better is it? And how hard is it to do?(like for me to do that knows next to nothing about it all) I have a bet with my dad that I can get to 500K miles so I want to do whatever I can asap to prevent anything from happening to my truck as best as I can before something bad happens and costs me big $$$. I looked at an EGR blocker and finger stick kit for like $55(fair price?) and this PCV deal sounds pretty cheap too... any other cheap upgrades that ya'll know of that are actually worth something just let me know.

yeah i may have to move this.... it's like 3 months old...

 

egr blocker and finger stick is a good price.

This keeps all the oil out of your cac system. if you were to look at the inside of the intercooler tubes or the front of the turbo blades you would see a film of oil covering them.

 

If you want to get 500k out of your motor, DONT mod it. Do the regular maintenance and drive it real nice.

 

yeah... those 3 words are definately NOT going to happen.
I'd rather lose the bet.
I mean come on...Better Off Modified Baby

I'd rather eat the rice burners in my town and pick up chicks in a built to hell truck than get 500 or even 700k miles on a stock truck.

For me it's Go Big, or Spend a hella lot of Money tryin to get there

But i'll still keep it in the best shape i can

 

Just a heads up to save a couple bucks for ya bud.. you dont need the finger stick if you are getting the PPE Programmer.. The fingerstick blocks the ECM from throwing an P0401 (EGR Flow) Code.. But... So does the PPE Programmer.. :upup:

 

Sweet! I can live with savin a couple bucks. I have a TON of stuff I am wanting to buy.
There are sooo many trucks to compete with here it's not even funny. And they get the money to buy parts with from mom and dad. I'm gonna be putting aside around 75-100 bucks a week to spend on my truck. I know it ain't much but what can I say, I'm workin part time in fast food. Definately no money in that.... But it's gonna have to do till i graduate college and get a real job.

Anyways. If you have anymore tips I'd love to hear 'em.

 

ok this sounds dumb but i ordered a egr blocker installed in and no problems and everyone keeps telling me anout this finger stick thing and i still have no clue what it is or what it does sorry its a dumb question but any help?
