I'm Awesome
I got updates!
Finally time to dig in to the intake, replace some injectors and some gaskets. Uncharacteristically, I got everything done I wanted to get done today. Project timeline, on track!
Didn't park in the RV pad where I usually work on my stuff... I'm going camping 4th of July and if for whatever reason the truck was non-functional, I didn't want it blocking my trailer. But, it'll be functional!
Parked with its sibling, ready for work
Getting started, pulled the A/C compressor and layed it off to the side as suggested in the Vortec 454 master thread.
Pulling the EGR tube, actually went pretty easy. I didn't have a narrow adjustable wrench, but was able to make it work no problem, other than having to tweak the dumb AIR tube out of the way. Came right off... it was covered in anti-seize, someone has been here before, and actually cared about what they were doing. Nice!
First bonehead move of the project, could not figure out these click lock fittings for the vacuum line on the evap setup, and broke the nipple off.
I think the plastic is thick enough I can drill a bigger hole and thread a barbed fitting from home depot in there, and pretend it never happened. That's my plan, otherwise I'll have to source a new canister dealy.
Upper intake off!
