First off, I want to say that Bob at Mr.Bobs Distributing wwwmrbobsdistributing.com was awesome to work with . I called and left a message for a price quote and he returned the call promptly and I ordered the manifold since he was the best price. Bob also asked about my trac arm. I told him I am lucky enough to have 125k and no problems so far. Bob is coming out with new some heavy duty trucker type radiator hoses.....I will get some 4 sure. Check his website and give him a call...great guy.

Well the tear down was a pain...too tight of bolt locations for my mits. All went well with the install...learned a few tricks after the removal. I fired it up and it sounded better(no cracks) and the engine light went away without resetting. I am a happy camper now. Next step is an Edge EZ.

 

Cool install! It's a crying shame that these engineers can't make a manifold that won't crack. Seems like starting in the 80's manifolds were just junk on some vehicles.
