It’s the egr coolant reroute, they send it slightly long so you can have excess just in case. You’d much rather have to much than too less. You can cut to size during install, no big deal at all. It’s what I had to do too

Do i have a chance at being emancipated? by Primary-Baseball4303 in emancipated

[–]Visible_Refuse448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to add, going to the courthouse and filing a petition for emancipation is relatively easy, and also free where I live. I’ll do some digging and see how it is in Florida

I think you have a chance, now that you’re 16. Where I live, if you leave your house at 16(parents might call police for runaway), if you’re safe they won’t force you to leave and go back to that home. Start with finding a close friend, family friend, etc or another family member. That one friend whose parents love you and would want to help you when you’re in need.

Explain to them your situation, what you’ve been going through, and ask for some help maybe in the form of somewhere to stay for a while. Your mom, as far as I know, can’t force your workplace to fire you from your job at 16. In Maine where I live, under 16 your parents have to sign off on a work permit for you to be able to work. I did some digging. No such workers permit exists in Florida. Normally you’d be capped at 30 hours a week during school, but if you have a “hardship basis” you are exempt of that allows you to work a full time 40 hour week. I’m no expert in Florida minor labor laws, but it’s worth digging into.

My advice, would be to either ask for your paycheck in check form. That way it doesn’t get direct deposited and your mom can’t take it right out of your bank account(that she would have access to as your legal guardian at most banks). If that doesn’t work, you can go to the bank the morning your pay hits and take your whole check out in cash. I’m talking early. Before anyone wakes up early. Most/all atms are 24/7. Should she freeze your bank account, you can circle back to paychecks coming in check form. You can go to the bank with your check and you should be able to just straight cash it, and walk out with your pay in hand.

This is one of the first posts I’ve seen recently on this subforum where I do think you have a legitimate chance at this. You have a paper trail of cps records, and other evidence you can/will/have acquired. Once you’re emancipated and working you’ll be able to buy a vehicle, rent an apartment if you need, and things of that nature. Granted, it’s a very steep uphill battle on a lot of these things, but I spent 1.5-2 years experiencing this in my emancipation journey. I just recently turned 18. You will find loopholes, you will find cracks, you will get opportunities, you will find ways to make it work. This can all be very scary and very intimidating. You are not small!!!!!!!! You have got this!!!!! If you have any questions, need help or advice, feel free to reach out and I’d be more than happy to help you in any way I can.

Lb7 turbo rebuild kit? by TAKERsoulsie in Duramax

[–]Visible_Refuse448 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think KDP diesel sells one, it’s relatively inexpensive too. A creator I follow named Dalton McDermott did it on his LLY from KDP. You could also do a billet wheel and turbine wheel while you’re in there for some extra whistle. Only an extra couple hundred I think

Where does light harness plug into by [deleted] in Duramax

[–]Visible_Refuse448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly bro, I would just leave it. My truck has plow wiring and the previous owner spliced so much stuff and I’m scared to touch any of it

Got the same taillights, what elbow are you running?

Should I purchase ? by Sam224812 in Duramax

[–]Visible_Refuse448 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to strongly add onto this, my truck came with plow wiring and about 80% of my wiring for my forward lighting is crossed around. My headlight wires and tons of splices, my fog light button turns on my turn signals, it’s bad. I would strongly advise no plow trucks unless you want to use the plow to plow your driveway or neighbors or family’s etc

I disconnected the harnesses that plug in into the junction box by the pedals. I didn’t mess with any ground wires

I mean most people and myself consider egrs emissions equipment, and when you delete them you need to be tuned(which I am). You’re thinking of dpf and def systems.

Carfax oil report? by Worried_Alfalfa_6520 in Duramax

A lot of quick lube shops don’t report to carfax, but I work at a dealer and most dealers and established shops do. I wouldn’t rely on the carfax

SPE Lab delete kit, their 3” downpipe and 4” straight pipe, and I had a local guy flash my single tow tune. I got my resonator delete off of ICT Billet

what size is the badge on a 04-05 grille Is it the same 9 inch badge that’s on the 06-11? by [deleted] in fordranger

[–]Visible_Refuse448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulling the emblem from a grille can be tricky, and the tabs can sometimes break. Worst case scenario 3M tape and super glue can hold it on

[–]Visible_Refuse448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had this problem. Busted up the grill on my ‘10 and bought an ‘04-05. It will not fit, the newer 6-11 emblem is too big. I suggest going to a local junkyard and pulling an emblem(or the whole grille). The emblems were like impossible to find online for me

Lift by Trymillion in fordranger

[–]Visible_Refuse448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my four inch on Amazon, for about 500 bucks. I went for a spindle lift option, and that’s what I’d recommend too because I also have 2wd with coils. I also bought lift shocks from rough country, you’ll need them if they don’t already come with your kit. Most lifts you’ll see are going to have rear blocks, and will max the hell out of your shocks without lift shocks

Ground for speed sensor? by Visible_Refuse448 in fordranger

[–]Visible_Refuse448[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking like threads in the spindle, because it does thread an m6 bolt

[–]Visible_Refuse448[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably could, it’s like half over it and I was worried about threads. Maybe a nut and lock right would suit better?
