My Air Dog is no big deal, we can do that any time. I live close to the cave anyway, not like I can not swing by there and install it some other day if the shop is too full on the wrenching day.

Looks like the injectors aren't working out this time around...so it's back to exhaust, fluidampr, and electric fan ...all of which are now here and accounted for

anyone have any experience with this kit or this sort of upgrade?
What do you want to know about them???
They have been on my truck since June and I have had zero issues with them.The heaviest thing I have towed with the truck since was a 68 Big Block Dart a buddy of mine bought from Upstate NY and we used my truck to bring her home instead of his gasser pig.The Flex-A-Lites are working wonderful and now with it cold it really makes it nice to warm up the truck....Andy

P.S.-Here is the thread I did on them way back.

Guages down the road.

nice install...I read the thread and saw the pics! Wanna come on over to lend an hand since you've recently done this installation yourself? Any key pointers that you think...you mentioned soldering and heatshrinking the wires at the connections, plus hiding the power and gnd wires and the red and blue wires into the cab...what other tips might you have?

We're going to install a fluidampr while the stock fan is out...easy time to do it I guess before putteing the electric fan in there....

your install looks very clean, nice job...and good looking engine bay!

looks like it'll be down to my fluidampr and 4" turbo back MBRP exhaust for the wrenchin day on the 30th...injectors didn't work out and I'll be getting an alternator upgrade to do before the electric fans installation as per the recommendation of Hammer...since the alternator bolt will hit the fan shroud once the Flex-a-lite kit is in place. I wont be able to order & get the alternator in time...so planning on Jan sometime for the fan kit.

Looking forward to the 30th; should be a fun day...looking forward to seeing you guys again and meeting some new folks as well.
