My truck spend 3 weeks of its first month at the dealer for warranty work, that I ended up having to fix when I got it back.
They can keep there warranty.

Some trim issues that needed adjustments and the engine needed a pcm update.
they refused to flash the pcm and their adjustments made the issues worse. I ended up pulling the tale gate apart and fixing it my self.

Update: I pulled the grill on my truck and flipped the heat exchanger to the correct orientation - 5/8 barb on the passengers side and 3/4 on the drivers side.
Then I removed the 3/4 to 5/8 adapter and the 5/8 ID 90 bend hose from the drivers side hose (IC pump to Heat Exchanger).
Re using this piece on the passengers side
Then I cut the 3/4 hose on the passengers side back (Heat Exchanger to Supercharger) about 5 inches at the end where it came out next to the radiator and attached the 3/4 to 5/8 adaptor with a new 3/4 gates Powergrip hose clamp (Gates 32929) and I cut the existing 5/8 90 bend hose down only leaving about 1 1/2 ins straight run (basically created a straight 3/4 to 5/8 reducer hose) - Side note: if you look hard enough at the pictures whipple provides in the instructions, my new reducer looks the same
Moving to the drivers side, I now had a long 90 bend hose coming from the IC pump (existing), I attached a new gates 3/4 to 3/4 hose connector (Gates 28605) and a new gates 3/4 ID Ubend/180 hose (Gates 19607), clamped them with a couple more 3/4 powergrips.
And buttoned it back up.
My IAT temps returned to a 30-35 degree from ambient. I was seeing 40-50 and once heat soaked the system would not shed the heat.
One truck down, One more to go.
