Performance

I guess I can break out the dremel today then

 

cool. what about warranties? i still got couple years left on mine. would a gaping hole in my airbox will void any warranty?

 

the dealership would have to prove that the airbox having a hole in it was the cause of whatever problem that may occur that you'd have to take it in under warranty for.

honestly thio man......with deckplates being so cheap....such a cheap mod, i'd go ahead with the deckplate...close it up, and they cant say anything. i doubt they'd even notice.

 

thanks man. i'll put in the deckplate just to be safe.

BTW, how you take off the emblem on your grill? wanted to paint mine black too

 

the emblem just has small tabs on the back, it just kinda pops out pretty easily. careful tho, cause the clips are pretty brittle and can break easy, but its easy enuff to take off.

 

yeah, when i was repainting all my stuff i took the emblem off the grille and the bottom tab broke.

oh well, it's black plastic behind it...can barely tell there isn't an emblem there unless you're close enough to see the holes that the lil clips went in!

 

when i put my ebay grille in, them emblem wouldnt fit worth a damn...tabs broke casue they didnt line up, so i super glued mine in......still in there good too, even after quite a few months!

 

oh, yeah i guess i could have done that haha. it was broke so i trashed it.

oh well, i uh...broke it on purpose so i could save weight

 

so the pic in your sig doesn't have a emblem on it?

 

no, that pic has the emblem in it.

i'll take some pics for you tomorrow without the emblem in.

i can notice it from about 10 feet away because i know it isn't there. im sure if i was walking with someone and they looked at the area they'd have no clue it was missing.

 

so i bought my deckplate today and i got my pan head screws. now all i need is "sensor safe" silicone.

what brand you guys use and how long did you wait to put your airbox back in?

 

i used some sensor safe black rtv silicone by permatex. after i installed the deckplate, i let it dry about 4 or 5 hours then reinstalled it.

 

checker ran out of black rtv so i got sensor safe blue rtv instead.

mahalos for all the help 06

 

anytime my friend!

 

I'm looking to swap the manual clutch fan with an electric. Can you give me your opinion? All I've done so far to my 99 3.4 is cut out an opening on the breather box and installed a boat-deck 9 inch hole incert. I need more torque.

 

I did this mod last year on my 96. It does help.

 

what is the benifit of the "grey wire" mod?

just for off road use correct?
