2005 X Black Limited. Time for the studs, and all motor updates. A few new injectors, OEM head gaskets, ARP 250-4202, STC fitting upgrade, blue spring kit, 6.4L banjos, inspect oil cooler (was done already), clean turbo, turbo updates, IPR GEN 2 Egr delete, and a host of other misc stuff.
I was worried for a second, I just had a BPD EGR cooler and updated oil cooler put in and the shop told me that I had the old STC fitting and that they replaced it. After reading this thread I thought I had got ripped off and lied to but it sounds like some '05 Exs have the bad STCs on them? If not then I am wondering what else they said they did and in fact did not do......:dunno:

I can tell you that my X rolled off assembly the last week of Sept 2005 and production of them ended that month. So if I had the old STC it is most likely a good portion of the 2005s had them.
I know how you feel though, you can't trust 99% of the shops out there.
another thing to consider, put a coolant filtration system in just to be on the safe side with a new oil cooler! :thumb: also, should of replaced the icp valve(dunno bout the 05) but i know i wished i had when i did mine:doh:
