    Ya, not trying to hard on it. :D

    Cool, Moab will probably be the first trip of the year for me. Had the shoulder scoped about 3 weeks ago so a little limited in what I can do. Larry's gonna swap a CV axle for me next weekend cause I can't do it myself.

    I might join ya'll for that. I need to pay him for an OEM CV axle and re-boot kit anyway.

    Might see if Aaron wants to join us and swap springs.

    We'll be in touch.

    Sounds good. Got a bunch of stuff I need to install just can't do it right now. Sucks since I haven't worked since the 21st of January. Have my rock lights and redline quick lift kit just gathering dust.

    Just listen to your physical therapist and do what he/she says.

    I am doing what I'm told. She did tell me that I am pushing harder than anyone she has worked with before. Hopefully I will be back to 100% by Moab.

    I love my military/vet patients. They work very hard, stick with the treatment plan, and typically rehab quicker than most. Great patient population to work with. I imagine it's all that discipline the service drills into you fellas.

    Installed my Snorkel with some help from jandrews and lurry. Didn't need anything extra except for some silicone to seal everything up. Maintained the stock intake hose too.

    Got in there today to ensure everything was sealed good and saw this. May have to play with it some, but I am not throwing any trouble codes and the truck is still running good. Gonna try and adjust it some tomorrow, if not may have to do something else.

    Try sliding that metal component out of the rubber sock a bit and further into the stock intake tubing. I'd just loosen the hose clamp over the metal insert, try to work everything straight, and then re-tighten the hose clamp.

    People bitch a lot about "restrictive airflow", but it only matters at the track, and almost nothing is more restrictive than your air filter. That's why a lot of track cars run with open intakes, no filter at all.
