Great pics, looks like you two had a fun day. My only concern is the silicone spray on the boost tube. Made for easy on, but but make for easy off, and you sitting on the side of the I 15. I borrowed the wifes hairspray. Slips on easy, then super death grip holding it on. Just my 2 cents.

June's Cummins of the Month is now open for entries! SUMMER FUN
dad2bike installs some Shibby goodies
24
I've had this stuff sitting around waiting for the right time to do the install. Today with temps in the 70's was the perfect time.
Here's all the goodies:
Shibby Grid Heater Delete
Shibby Stage 1 Intake & TV delete (this will give me a stealth intake setup)
Shibby Boost tube
Also I'll be installing the Pyro for my PMT. Finally

Grid heater looked really clean. The EGR's been unplugged for most of the 37,000 miles on the clock.

Intake off. Here the stock boost tube.

Hey Shibby. Ever notice how the TV delete and Stage 1 are not a smooth connection. Someday in the future I may do some port work on the area to clean it up.

This pic really shows off how clean and shiney my grid heater was.

Very little soot in my intake. Decided not to do any cleaning.

Now Aint that Purdy?? I installed the Boost Tube prior to dropping the intke into place. I used Silicone spray to get the boots to slip on easy.

Starting to look stock again.

Except for the Throttle Valve delete it all looks stock.

I primed and primed and primed until she finally came to life.
Once I knew that all worked it was time to move on to the Pyro install. Here I am drilling using a right angle air drill and a shop vacuum to pull out the debri.

Liz got a hold of the camera. Some say this is my better side.

Pyro installed. Here's the plugged up Turbo CCV hose in the pic.

A better view of the installed pyro.

The whole job took me 6 hours from the time I started setting up tables to jumping into the shower to go out for dinner. I'm glad I didn't wait for my son to help my. This is pretty much a one person job. Very tight quarters in there. Liz was helpful in getting parts & tools from the table for me.
Impressions- OMG I can really hear that thing Breath! When I lay my foot into it, it flat gets up and goes. Seat of the pants indicates much better response and more air into the mouth of my motor. I'll have to get used to having a real pyro that is showing real time temps.
I made good use of BroncoHounds Excellent write up in the tech articles section as well as some other sites quick install info for the Pyro. They really helped me over the hurdles and I felt really comfortable taking on this job with such good info at hand.

D2B nice write up! If my memory from your threads serves me right, you had been doing the song and dance to keep your warranty in tact, is this still correct? I have been considering a pyro install but too afraid, just because of warranty/service issues. Did you finally say screw it or what? arty018:

I'm comfortable that my motor will survive for many years.
I was concerned about drilling the manifold. I was looking at all kinds of ways to get around that. I just finally bit the bullet and did the deed. It really wasn't very painful at all. Using the vacuum and the right angle drill made the task simple and I felt good that all the debri was sucked out. That part of the manifold is seriously thick. I don't forsee any cracks.:thumbsup:
I don't believe they would either. However, having a pyro is a clear indicator of a possible tuner or other mods. It MAY cause a dealer to dig deeper in the ECM for tuner tracks. Tracks that they wouldn't bother with without it.
I recall reading in the State of California Diesel Smog test online training to look beyond a pyro.
Clearly I installed the pyro due to running my tuner. I was pushing some pretty heavy winds a week ago. So bad that I got 7mpg towing into that wind. I was running around 30 psi of boost for much of the trip. Who knows what my temps were.:S:
There's some threads out there with pics of the GH & GHD side by side. The stock GH is meant to be the same opening as the stock intake. With the bigger intake the GHD is must IMHO. Clean.
I live in the desert. We don't rust. All our rubber pieces dry out though.
As a rule I always wash my projects before working on them. Bikes, cars trucks, whatever. It drives my nuts to see pics of guys with open motors covered in dirt and grime. All that is just begging to drop into the motor.

The grids were removed from this one, but you can see the difference in the housings even.

Fair enough, that's what I was assuming as well. Hadn't had any reason to take mine in since the deletes but it is still nice to know I could maybe get away with it if I had to. In regards to the manifold it's funny how many people say that it is a lot thicker than they thought it would be...
Thank you for taking the time and effort to post such an interesting and informative thread.:thumbsup:
Now, if I only knew what it all meant.:confused013::rof
