Reunel Horror Story
Smokin - I have a manufacturing company, but we are not fabricators, so it would cost me much more than $3000 in materials and man hours to build my own bumpers. I wanted a professionally built bumper that would fit and function properly. Although the Reunel bumpers needed some extra work to fit...- The Hajj

Reunel Horror Story
Thank you Casey! I thank you for your offer to help, but there really is nothing to be done right now. The ball is in Reunel's hands and we are waiting to hear from them. The bumpers have been reworked to allow all the lights to fit properly and they have been refinished. I chose to have...- The Hajj

Reunel Horror Story
Guys, Over two months ago I ordered a front winch and standard rear bumper for my 2000 Ford F350. The front bumper was ordered with 2 sets of PIAA lights, diamond decking, heavy duty tubing, and a winch. The rear bumper was ordered with PIAA lights. I was told it would take 4 to 6 weeks for...- The Hajj

Front Bumper & Engine Upgrade Info
NVCowboy, Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate everyone's help and willingness to offer honest opinions. I met with the people who installed the Banks air intake, the Big Hoss module and 4" exhaust this weekend. The exhaust kit included a new 4" downpipe, so the factory unit has been...- The Hajj

Mike, My pickup passes the emissions test now with no problems. I was just wondering how it would do if we took the module to Level 5. Pulling the module seems like the logical choice, if I get it re-programmed. Tim, I have the gauges added to the list of items being put on my pickup at...- The Hajj

No, the Banks module has nothing to adjust. You must send it to Banks for programming. Wouldn't pulling it out allow me to pass the emissions test? "The Hajj"- The Hajj

Mike, I had a BD turbo put in it a few months ago because my original turbo locked up. One of the hoses from the air intake deceloped a crack and let dust into my turbo and seized it. Don't I need to ship the Big Hoss back to Banks for re-programming to Level 5? If so, do I just pull out...- The Hajj

Mike, Will Level 5 give me trouble with Idaho emissions testing? Also, do I need any other modifications to the engine or turbo, other than the ones I am having done, to meet Level 5 requirements? The shop told me the injectors would be around $250 each. Merry Christmas to you and your...- The Hajj

Mike, I do not know the manufacturer of the injectors at this time. My mechanic just said, "Stage 2 injectors". He is gone until next week, but I will ask him as soon as he returns. I have the Banks Big Hoss Module programmed at Level 2 at this time. Thanks, "The Hajj"- The Hajj

Mike, I have an automatic transmission so the 3 three gauge cluster will be added to the list of items being ordered. Do you have any information on the Stage Two injectors? I thought about taking the Banks Module up to Level 4, but my diesel mechanic said the injectors with the current...- The Hajj

95_stroker, I do not have a full set of gauges but I will add them to my list now. Thank you for the suggestion. I tow a jetboat, but the exhaust brake is being added to help reduce front brake wear and all that ugly brake dust that builds up on my front rims. Would the standard gauge set...- The Hajj

"The Hajj" is just a nickname that has been with me for many, many years. My last name is Hajjar and "The Hajj" was just the name my friends called me ever since I was a kid. It was in place long before the PC police made it taboo! I'm glad you asked instead of making any snap judgements...- The Hajj

Smoke from air filter hose?
Thank You I was worried something catastrophic happened to the engine or turbo. The shop that replaced the original turbo told me the air ducting leading to it had split and dirt had entered the turbo and ruined it. They did not think the engine was damaged, but I have been a bit worried...- The Hajj

Smoke from air filter hose?
Guys, I have a 2000 F350 that just had a new turbo put in it, but now I have smoke coming out of the ducting between the K&N flilter and the turbo housing when the motor is running. Any ideas? Thanks, The Hajj- The Hajj
