Nice! Interested to see how it performs!

Installed the intake today. I can't say it made much difference but I also didn't get on it. It's a very tight fit to get the clamps and cover on. While i was doing it i cleaned up the engine and took a few pictures.

Spent some time changing an iwe today. Had what sounded like a mud tire hum in 2wd that would go away in 4wd. The right one had been replaced so i dug into the left side. I think this was it. If not it needed to be replaced anyways.

I recommend doing the solenoid and check valve at the same time.

Ecoengineer

I forgot to post it but I did put the $11.96 check valve in from Ford. I tested the 4wd and it seemed to be controlling the vacuum well on both sides so i figured that was ok. Is that a cheap part?

Solenoid is like $15.

I ended up swapping everything, IWE's, Vaccum line/Check Valve, Solenoid, lines running to IWE's.

Revamped an old afe tip i had laying around. I'll soon redo the rbp tip since it's starting to look weathered.

Wow Keep the updates coming!

How did the explorer turn out? How bad where the taxes on it?

Also, what did you decided on the bumper after the "incident"

Ecoengineer

I honestly don't know what the taxes were. I think my dad said they had to pay taxes on dealer invoice price which is still a far cry from what it would've cost.

I faired out well on the incident. I was paid 1000 dollars from the guy that hit me so i bought a new plastic cover for 80 dollars then used a bottle jack between the frame and the bumper to push it back. You'd never know it happened and i pocketed the rest of the money.
