What I take tube/filter is this? I was going to fab one up, but the parts alone are near $100. The 4” pipe and silicone couples are what get you.

I bought two of the Spectre adapters and the aluminum elbow on Amazon for a total of $65.25. I bought the Spectre filter at my local O'Reilly's for $38 bucks

If for some reason it turns over but wont start, before you start tearing everything apart, replace the old ignition switch with a new one. When they get worn they wont keep 12 volts to the computer long enough to get it to run. A friend just did the same swap. Went thru wiring, sensors even took trans apart thinking something was wrong it. Turns out ignition switch.

This is great information to know. I would have already ordered a new one, but since this is the original to the truck I will give it a try. Thanks for the heads up!!

Good read. Are you going with hp tuners?

I'm going with a cheapo off of Amazon for now. I will go with a better set up down the road once I have more of this thing together. I really just want it to start and idle for a minute or so to keep the oil moving around. I'm a long way from putting her in gear and moving it.
