6.
Remove the driver side manifold
by lowering the manifold under the
truck on the inside of the frame rail.
Remove the dipstick tube by removing
the 10mm bolt that bolts the dipstick
to the head (retain bolt for re-use in
step 11). Use a small hammer to tap
the arm on the dipstick upward and
it will come out of the block. If your
vehicle is equipped with four-wheel
drive, disengage the forward coupling
of the front drive shaft from the front
axle by removing the four bolts at the
flange. This will allow clearance for the
installation of the TorqueTube. Retain
the hardware for reassembly.
7.
To remove the passenger side
manifold, the AC dryer will need to
loosen. From the inside the engine
bay, remove the battery and remove
the nuts on the AC dryer bracket from
the firewall.
8.
Loosen and remove the starter.
Be sure the Battery is disconnected.
See Figure 2 for the assembly view.
Remove the passenger-side manifold
from the vehicle. Be careful not to
scrape the manifold on the aluminum
head.
9.
Inspect the exhaust mounting
surfaces of the cylinder heads
and clean away any deposits to
assure proper sealing of the Banks
TorqueTubes. Be careful when doing
this as the cylinder heads area
aluminum and can be easily damaged.
Use of a plastic scraper to clean the
aluminum surface is recommended.
10.
Place a small amount of anti-seize
compound on the threads of each of
the supplied 16-manifold bolts. When
installing the bolts be careful not to
cross thread in the aluminum threads
of the cylinder head.
