Continued from above.....
The vertical portion of the snorkel attaches to the A pillar with a small bracket and 3 bolts, the instructions tell you to mark it out and drill 3 holes in the A pillar where you will bolt the bracket in place. I don't mind drilling holes in the fender but won't do it in the cab if I don't have to. Instead of using bolts I'll be attaching the bracket to the A pillar with 3M VHB tape, this tape is ultra strong and will hold the Snorkel secure without requiring holes. I've used this tape on past vehicles in similar situations and it's held up very well.
This is where the bracket attaches to the snorkel and to the A pillar.
Bracket with tape applied.
And attached to the truck....rock solid!...and no holes!
Intake tubing connected. Inner fender liner re-installed right after this step.
Air box going back in. I always grease the seal on the filter with a good waterproof grease to ensure no fine dust makes it's way around the filter and into the engine.
The quality and fit of the ARB unit is VERY good!
Playing with ART mode on the camera.
Time to work on my fathers truck and get it caught up to mine. First up install the Hypertech speedo calibrator and TPAM mount.
First the Hypertech unit going in. About a ten minute job.
Installing the TPAM mount. I found it easier on mine to remove the entire radio unit and AC controls.
Tying the USB power on the TPAM into the factory accessory plug. On mine the wire they gave me was about 1" short and I really had a problem making it reach. This time I extended the harness to make sure I had enough play.
