Time for some work

The rest of March is booked for me but I have the following things that are in need of install / adjusting, maybe sometime in early April???

1) Edge Juice w/ Attitude

2) 2" front leveling spacers

3) New rims and tires (thanks TJ)

4) Valve springs adjusted, they have never been done and I am pushing 195k

5) maybe a new exhaust manifold if I get it in time.

6) Remove Silencer Ring

Let me know. I am a diesel dummy so I need help.

the hardest part of that whole project is drilling the exhaust manifold for the temp probe and not messing up the turbo, but since you have a new one to put in as well, you have a very easy install day ahead of you

Anyone in the BelAir area want to help with a Edge install this afternoon? I think I can do it myself but would love a hand as I am brand new to diesel trucks / engines.

Thanks for the offer but after two weekend of frustration on the 8.8 install in the jeep if one little thing went wrong I would burn the truck to the ground.

I am kind of in the same boat as well. I wish I was not working this weekend. I would have gladly tried to help out. I am in the area but working the night shift this weekend. Getting ready to roll out again now.

Drilling and tap looks to be the hardest after reading the distructions. I have to get the tool/bit to tap it.

Peace
