LBZ's check your Hot side IC tube

[RPM Motorsports]

Check the hot side tube to the IC and see if it is wearing through the battery cables. Mine was about 1/2 way through the +/- cable covers with only 40K mi. The front exhaust manifold stud was also working it's way through the tube. I removed the tube to make a 3" tube, since I have blown the stock unit off three times, and damaged it.

I think mine are OK though. Robert just checked everything on Wendy before the sledpull.

Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to check. Hope yours didn't cause too much damage

I just noticed this issue on mine when I was putting the hot side back in... it basically is touching the harness. Careful!

Maybe thats the hissing I hear coming from the grill area now when I shut the truck off.

 

[Dozerboy]

Thanks I check mine they got a bit of room.

So you LBZ guys have the same issues we LB7 guys have with the IC tubes rubbing through? It does get tight down there.

Better have the LLY guys check their IC tubes while we're at it.

Cold side on dales Lbz almost rubbed through his brake line

it was actually the clamp and the way it was installed but something to look out for

Problem solved! I finished up the 3" hot side. I've got plenty of space now, and was able to ditch a few bends. Im not sure if I want to polish it, or leave the welds as is. I would like to thank Nathan (MPI), for sending me the right direction, when I was looking for a bead roller. It was able to tackle .065 316L stainless without a problem (Bead Form HD II).
BTW- Jordan, this was done with your new welder.

That looks great Russ... I wonder how weird my truck will look with a powder coated boost tube and a SS driver side LOL

 

[RPM Motorsports]

I can make them both, although you only see the first 7" of the hot side!

That is a nice looking piece, and even nicer welds

Thanks for getting me out of the house at 9:30 tonight to go and check out mine with a flash light in the garage I didnt find any issues but I will be checking closer soon. Thanks for the info:hug:

 

[RPM Motorsports]

Thanks for the complements guy's. I took it for a test drive last night and the clamp holds nice and tight now. I also double clamped the bottom side to the IC.

 

[SIKDMAX]

Get to work Russ... more and more things to do to my truck!

 

[RPM Motorsports]

Im still waiting for your truck to get here! Along with waiting for Nick to get his parts in!!!

 

[WolfLMM]

Pretty Welds. That's a nice piece:cool2:

 

[LBZrcks]
