Amazed at how easy it was to take out the PAIR system, Water Pump, Heat Shields, and Exhaust Manifolds. Only issue I had was with two of the studs between the Y-pipe and the rear manifold. I figured I was going to be in for a real fight, but got all of that done in about an hour.
Nope. 100% paid full price. I Just like the product and very useful in my hunting rig.
It was a sarcasm
Heck yeah! Gonna leave the PAIR out? I took mine off and just put in the 95-97 water pipe and never looked back. You can plug the PAIR air nipple on the filter canister with one of these for rather cheap...
I just warmed it with the heat gun and pressed it on.

I have thought about it but I don't know what the advantage to removing it is. I am blocking off the EGR while I have the head out, but have not gotten around to researching or searching the forum for the advantages and disadvantages. I live in a non-emmissions state, so I don' think it is an issue. I am just not educated on it yet.
It's a pretty passive device it uses the scavenging effect of exhaust pulses to draw fresh air into the exhaust during warm-up to combine with the excess of fuel to warm the cats up to operating temp faster. When the truck is out of the warm-up enrichment state it turns off a VSV stopping the little reed valves in the PAIR from opening. The truck cannot detect if is there or removed. Just block off the vacuum lines and plug the exhaust holes in the manifold (they're O2 size) and you're set.

I guess I could use the extra space in the engine bay for sure. I will see if I can fab up block off plates or install the old o2 sensors in the holes.

Not this weekend as such, but have been getting things ready for a week or so. Installed today. Fired up and happily charges my 100AH lifepo4 once engine is running and alternator is ticking along. Had a Wagan unit, but it very recently died - got a new one on RMA, so can't complain about their service, but figured I'd like to go Victron since I've used them in the past and like their bluetooth app and configurability.
Found a good deal for $260 so jumped on it. Custom 3D printed bracket and a pic of having just bolted the bracket/orion in place and running the cables to it. The Wagan was on a similar bracket for the past couple of years and the location has worked well with no mechanical issues.
cheers,
george.

I sent the washer bottle back, expecting a full refund. Nope. Selling gave a partial refund with for the following excuse:
I put it back in the same box, which was undamaged, with the original packaging material... In my entire history of buying online, this is the first time a selling tried to claim a return shipping issue. Wear and tear on a box shipped twice?
The selling could have put the actual part number in his/her listing, but deliberately chose not to, and covered up the part number sticker on the packaging.
I opened up a case with Ebay, first time in 25 years of having an Ebay account. It was settled in my favor within minutes of submitting the case, and seller has to refund the entire amount now.
Now to post my first negative Ebay review...

Just finished this job last week and yes, this one was the most difficult extraction. Had to buy a gigante puller and finally got it.
I finally checked off a big item on the to-do list - rebuilt & re-geared the transfer case. It all went pretty smoothly with a few of the parts putting up a fight to pull off the shafts. I now have a real nice collection of pullers! I went with the underdrive gears as well while I was at it. I've done the break-in and went for my first trail shakedown run yesterday. Very pleased with the new low range.
cool handles.
There is a downside if you live where there is emissions testing (or move in the future) and you get an examiner that knows the job. The vehicle will fail the visual inspection. If you do choose to remove the components, save everything in case you need to put it back in the future.
Congrats on the new to you transfer case.
What part of Portland do you live? I grew up in Boring and lived around Portland for years.
I know lots of folks don’t like these but added a wooden steering wheel today. I like the throw back look. Have a custom horn cover coming, so no more momo. Truck going to the shop Monday for a bunch of coolant system, HVAC and electrical work while I am traveling for 3 weeks.
