Word on the boost bolt.. I couldn't use mine with the EV2 pressure sender, had to drill and tap the intake horn. If you weren't on the other side of the continent I would just mail it to you..

I appreciate the offer. Sad thing, it would probably cost twice the price of one just to mail it down here..
Im gonna go Autometer, but if for some reason the BB doesnt work Im just gonna drill and tap the EGR plate a la Joe.

The 48 dd pan does come with an extension but not needed for the 68, just have to be sure to use the 4x4 flat filter. Did you mean it held 8 qts total? The 68 deep holds 2.5 to 3 qt over stock.

Ordered with Top today!
Boost, Pyro, and Tranny in the Autometer "Factory Matched" flavor.
Mag-hytec too. Wife is picking up the filters for me at the dealer. Gonna have to get some ATF+4.
Any suggestions on a decent brand that wont completely wipe out what my little truck stash I have left.

Got the filters and 14 quarts of Mopar ATF+4 today. Figured that should be enough. Hoping to get home this weekend and if everything goes well will have the gauges done by Sunday.
Then it's off to the 4x4 shop to be leveled with new shoes.

Well, got to look at em last night. Didnt realize that its a provide your own wiring sort of install. They do look good though. I was gonna bring em back here and do a parking lot install, but now Im just gonna wait till Im in the comfort of my shop with all the right tools if so needed.
That Mag-hytec is an impressive chunk of metal, I will say that.

"California Style"
The one with the colored plastic shielding, going to the connector, with the copper core that isn't the others you're looking for.
Sorry I am no help, I hope it goes well for you so we can get some photos and I can live vicariously through such events.
