That’s impressive. I definitely don’t think I could have done it without removing the grille.Got around to installing my Putco emblem. Because of the size of the openings on the grill I was able to do the install without removing panels or the grill itself.

Does it include a harness that is plug and play (id presume it daisy chains into the headlight housing?)Got around to installing my Putco emblem. Because of the size of the openings on the grill I was able to do the install without removing panels or the grill itself.

They do make a harness, but its extra. It's what I ended up going with, and you are correct, it goes between the headlight and stock harness.Does it include a harness that is plug and play (id presume it daisy chains into the headlight housing?)
Excellent. Seems like "the right way" to do it.They do make a harness, but its extra. It's what I ended up going with, and you are correct, it goes between the headlight and stock harness.
Fk yesMethods?
I hear back from Mishimoto:I installed the Mishimoto intercooler on my 2023.
Have to hand it to Mishimoto. Their packaging is great. Box arrived damaged and all beat up. This end up must not translate into Spanish. (Thanks for nothing, Mexican DHL)
But the contents were safe.
Install was super easy. It took me a couple of hours. I did not even have to jack the truck up. I lifted the new one up into place with my motorcycle jack.
The only hitch I ran into was upon installing the BOV and bracket, it was loose and did not seal correctly.
I solved this by installing two new O-rings in place of the factory (Red) one. I e-mailed the Mishimoto Tech Dept. about this and will post up if I get a response.
EDIT: While typing this, I got an e-mail from them saying they had created a ticket and would be in contact.
I also removed the top two louvers for the shutter system. This was pretty easy as only the bottom one is connected to the server. The middle and top ones are mechanically linked to the lower one. (No codes)
Haven't had a chance to drive it much yet. The one time I did I noticed that the AIT's were lots better than before. I noticed about 5 deg C above ambient most of the time. Even when they heated up sitting in traffic, they came right down once I started moving.
I am sure that in addition to the cooler, the removal of the two louvers helped substantially with this.
All in all, very happy with the results.
Hot damn dude, on the white, the white grill bars look really good. Nice touchGot dirty.
