wicked wheel and hpx

[dentexpowerstroke]

I finally got around to installing my wicked wheel and hpx. Quieted the truck a little and the wicked wheel sounds awesome. Also painted my ic pipes black and my compressor housing old ford blue. Only thing that sucks is i took out my map sensor removing the ic pipe and had to make an emergency run to the part store. deffinately recommend both mods

I liked my HPXover, but I'd rather use a hard line instead of a rubber crimped one. Had one where the crimp cracked and leaked then a new one wasn't done well and blew apart. Keep those plugs for the ports with you incase something lets loose. Otherwise I woulda been stuck.

Ya I got the solid line. Definitely put the plugs in my truck as soon as they came out of the rail

Cool. The only other thing I found is that with those Orings sitting in the tool box for a year or more, the orings dried out, so after I replugged them they leaked and I had to go get more orings. When I put on another HPXover, I'm gonna get the orings and keep them in the bag cause they're in oil, and that way they'll stay good.

I'm glad you brought that up ill probably pick up extra orings for it too.

I assume you are talking about the high pressure oil line cross over right?
How much difference does it make when you install it?
I want details before I decide to do it or not.

On mine, I had a noticeably smoother idle and easier start ups in cold weather since I have 15W40 all the time. Power/dyno wise? Can't really tell.

Ya no power difference idle smoothed out and it got quieter. I'd say its good investment.
