    Seriously though... It's about a cheap as "performance" mods can get. The ROI is basically immediate.

    I think the hardest part for me is remember to get back under there and look at my weaksauce safety wire. I keep forgetting when the truck is cold.

    Yes, I had two different configurations of custom hoses made (about $25 each). It's not worth the effort. There isn't enough room to get the flex hose routed nicely where it wouldn't rub on anything once the shield is back on. They do function, but I wasn't happy with the fit.

    The hard line is super easy to bend and get fit just right. I got the union and line for under $10 locally.

    Bleeding isn't bad as long as you clamp off the reservoir hose. I gravity bled mine for about 10 minutes and it only took a few pumps of the clutch pedal by my wife to get normal operation. I just cracked the bleeder wide open with a piece of tubing on it to a catch can and kept the reservoir topped off. I used these to pinch off the line:

    I second this, I bought my pre cut steel line at advance and just shaped it and it was super easy to do. Biggest pain for me was unbloting the cat bracket and putting back. All said and done took about an hour, and definitely worth it. Just take your time! And I just used some needle nose vice grips to clamp the line, just be careful.

    I feel like my 18 TRD Pro drives pretty well as it sits but this Tune is piquing my interest. I am ordering the ADM. I can't believe how frustrating it a gear change can be when trying to hammer it, makes no sense.

    I promise the 18 Pro will be 1000x better with the tune. You will be able to drive under 3000 RPMs up a slight incline without downshifting. It’s amazing.

    Nothing like designing and installing a $100 part the just makes the experience and wear worse.

    Well the first time I did it I had no idea what I was doing and failed miserably. Mostly due to frustration and it was getting cold.

    My method is pump the clutch a bunch, bleed, then repeat more times than necessary.

    Today I only did a couple cycles before I had all the air out of the system.

    I did a write up a while back that’s fairly detailed. Follow this process and you’ll be golden.
