Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Van Aaken

I don't know if I'm beating a dead horse but I will ask anyway. My question is how does the Van Aaken box hook up on my CTD? I can't get on the webpage besides that I want real world opinions.

Also do you think a straight piped stock exhaust be adequate? Or do I shut up and put an Edge Ez on it? I don't want a racecar just want a little more umpphh than what I have. You can tell I'm in the early stages of the BOMBING disease.

VA hook up

There is a plug down by the VP44 pump. Unplug it, plug the VA connectors into the 2 ends, and you are done. I've had mine about 100,000 miles, and love it. Ray

I've tried most boxes and like my adjustable (in cab) Van Aiken box the best by far. Very responsive and smooth low end kick. 150ish HP injectors and propane with a couple of secret ingridients and my truck really moves.

The plug at the pump has a sliding lock, its the same as whats on the box. I sugguest the addition of a dab of di-electric grease to help seal those connections.



My box is a VA with a BD sticker over the label. Still have stock injectors but im very satisfied.

Thanks for the input guys. Ok, next dumb question will the Van Aaken box fit 98. 5 to 02 models? The used one I'm looking has the boost module plug in, if this helps any.
