D.D.2s on the way

[FFutch]

Well guys I just took the big plunge,they should be here in a few days. Is there anything else that I need to get,i. e. valve cover gasket,injector o-rings,etc. I'm glad I'm in the T. D. R. ,it just saved me $120 . Also how bad of a job is it? Doug

An SBC clutch to go with the DDII's.....

FFutch,

You may need to get a new clutch when you put in the DDII's. SBC is the only way to go if your clutch starts slipping.

 

[FFutch]

Yeah I kinda figure the clutch will be the next "Bomb". I'll try to baby it till I get some more money ahead. Baby it YEAH RIGHT Doug

Valve cover gasket not needed. Get a new gasket for the grid heater. It may be stuck and break when you take it apart. Your injectors will come with new o-rings and copper washers on them.



How bad is it? Well, coming from somebody who doesn't do a lot of this, it was about a 2 1/2 hour job and I only barked up one knuckle. Biggest problem was sore muscles next day from crawling over the engine to reach the back two injectors.



As for tools - the only things I didn't already have in the garage were the 19mm crows foot wrench (not absolutely necessary, but I thought worthwhile) and a torque wrench that measures in inch-pounds instead of foot-pounds.



Have fun! You sure will after they're in...

Do you have a boost module and elbow? You will really enjoy the injectors. I drive my truck around alot with my Comp box off. This is where you realize the potential of your truck . Sam

 

[FFutch]

Yea I've got the P. E. box and boost elbow in already. I ordered the grid heater gaskets today,they should be in the same time as the injectors. PATIENTLY WAITING . Doug

So then what are you going to step up to? I think that you should hold off on the truck bobms and spend some on RC Planes so I can catch up!!!
