Picked my truck up from the shop today. Very very excited! I love the way it feels, it sounds, I never knew it was so addicting! I just want to drive around all day, sleep in the truck and wake up and drive some more! lol It sounds so fantastic!
Well, there's a funny story that goes with it though. The guys at the dealership loved the truck. I think they had as hard of a time to give it back to me, then I had to drop it off in the first place!
So they give me the keys, and we're talking about how it all works, everything that they put on what to expect, what they left in the box so on and so forth. We shake hands and I get in the truck, turn the key and there is a very loud and scary pop sound. I turn it back off, take the keys out and get out. I'm scared, very scared that something is really messed up. We lift the hood and there's a little bit of smoke, but it's coming from the battery! The lid popped off! I imagine it just did it from the heat and other weird factors that cause batteries to pop like that but it was the first time it happened to me. Anyway, they threw a new one in for me and a very relieved me got in and after driving around for a bit, headed back home. Oh, and the service guy at first wanted to take the CAI off and put the stock back on because he said that he didn't think that it was compatible. I asked him to check his computer because it is very compatible lol.
And so, my supercharger is very happy.

Yes butters it popped off! the hood was closed, and it was only one of the two but it was pretty loud.

Thanks guys, I'm pretty happy with it. I already don't know how I went so long NOT being boosted!

So how much did you spend in total.

I bought the kit on ebay for 3750, 1400 for install and reflash.

Congrats. Now you've gotta tame the beast. Tractions a mofo.

Haha yeah I thought about that ahead of time. Already talked to G and I have a traction bar in my living room. I have that and a sittin' sic kit ready to be put on! Hopefully in the next week or so then my mod bug needs to cool down haha

Did they put a "premium fuel only" sticker on the OUTSIDE of your gas cap? I was livid when the dealership did that to me :(

Also, welcome to the F/I section!! I am still super stoked everytime I "have" to drive somewhere.

Wow $1400 for install and flash!! Boy I'm glad I did mine myself. Congrats anyway:top: Kinda funny how none of the stealerships put the split loom on the I/C hoses like the directions say to, just keep an eye on those and make sure they don't chafe on anything and start leaking.

Bragger lol. Congrats on the boost bro. And luckily the battery crapped out at the dealer on their dime (I'm assuming). That's a nice intake cover you got there ;) lol
