Tapping the manifold is easy, especially on third gens. Use a little grease on the tap and do it while the truck is off. We just did a set of gauges on MTC's truck this weekend, its nothing to be scared of.

Easy on a 3rd gen? I didn't have to pull any wheel well liners out of my truck to tap my manifold.

Sorry I missed it guys, trying to get the Wrangler done, and cleaning up the jet skis for today, I just ran out of time.

IMO it is easy on a third gen, and we do not have to pull the liner anymore since I have a right angle drill in the cave. I can honestly say that I have not done one on a second gen, I was just saying that on third gens it is easy IMO.

I never got under the hood today...I will check for those cutters tomorrow. I remember seeing them on that cart next to where my truck was.

Oh, and you can never be too
