Thanks guys, its a work in progress...it'll never be done, just improved. BigTex, yea, the bed rug was the answer. So easy and clean. It covers the dents, holes and scrapes well. It was just yesterday I remembered hauling my snowmobile in the bed of this truck thinking, "man, this thing is tearing up my tuck...maybe I should Line-X it."
Yea, he has it. There isn't much flex at all. Anyway, the entire piece will not be metal, the very ends will be a rubber coupling allowing for some flex. I just feel that will look even better than what I did here. Anything is better than that stock truck hose when you do a "car style" water pump.
I will most likely do this when I make the CAI a one piece pipe as well. I want to eliminate the center silicone coupling and T-bar clamps. It will just look cleaner and less chance of leaks. I need to pick up more of the powder for powdercoating...I am runing out.
Purge is just inside of the headlight and grill. You need to be looking for it to notice. I will be relocating this as well in the future to just under the antenna. I am running the FAST 36# injectors. At the FP I am running they flow 41#'s. A 50 dry shot will put me in the 90's for IDC with propper fueling and high RPM's, 75 will most likely be the limit unless I swap out to the Ford SVO green tops I have in my toolbox.
...Curious about the coolant hose. Making it metal will look nice and will surely help radiate heat out of it but it's not gonna be one solid piece is it? That hose will need some room to flex along with the engine as she rocks back and forth on the mounts when under load. Just a thought!
