No, he replaced the stc fitting, hpop, and icp regulator. He never went in and did pipes or plugs. I'm going to do that. What is the procedure for getting the passenger side valve cover off? There's some bolts that look inaccessable no matter what angle you're trying to get at them.

No problems since. I have quite a few friends with 07 and newer Cummins who cant belive the power with the minor upgrades ( 4" Turbo Back Magnaflow, S&B intake and SCT Tuner ) 0-60 6 seconds according to the SCT not bad for a 1 TON. The Bulletproof kit also comes with a cold weather package that bypasses the cooler until the oil warms up and filters through a better filteration system than the stock low end filters.
