driver side, and the right side to the

passenger side.

Route and tie wires and hoses a

minimum of 6” away from exhaust

edges. clearance of 8” or more is

recommended where possible.

When raising the vehicle, support it

on properly weight-rated safety stands,

ramps or a commercial hoist. Follow

the manufacturer’s safety precautions.

Take care to balance the vehicle to

prevent it from slipping or falling. When

using ramps, be sure the front wheels

are centered squarely on the topsides.

When raising the front of the vehicle,

put the transmission in park (automatic)

or reverse (manual), set the parking

raising the back of the vehicle, be sure

the vehicle is on level ground and the

front wheels are blocked securely.

lubrication system components while

performing the installation, as foreign

objects will cause immediate engine

damage upon start-up.

the Six-Gun Diesel Tuner to help

monitor performance and exhaust

part numbers on page 6). To further

increase engine life by lower EGT’s,

Banks also recommends installing a
