As always i thank you..If not for you and the others on this site im pretty sure i would of lost it a cpl times and bought a new truck.....On the upside the install went well...The intake didn't give me no prob....The injector upgrade was easy..Thanks to the TSB...Down side it i broke the EGR tube...Was locked up and twisted and snapped...So truck wont run for a while....Gives the RTV time to set...So ill let it set and wait for the part...Thanks again for the help..

Went to the junk yard and broke 3 more of them trying to get them off...Dealer wants $150
Said no to that...Bought one on ebay for $30  And all it is ..is a flex pipe....Like whats on a gas dryer...With a nylon looking heat wrap around it....So o well...Make the best of it while im down this fare i but no valve cover gaskets on it...Bought a new timing chain and water pump...Its my daily driver so i want to get all the "ware" items replaced now instead of having another head ache down the road..Do have one more question tho...While valve covers wear off...I checked my rockers...And there all a little lose....The set nuts are tight...But i can spin the push rods...I don't hear any tapping or anything...But is that normal ware? i think i have a roller cam....So any ideas?
