I will be installing my prochamber this weekend and was wondering if I needed to use Mil's with it. I picked up the mil's already just in case even though the dealer told me I shouldn't need them. Is there any concerns I need to be aware of during the install of the prochamber and / or the mil's. Thanks for your help

Yes you'll need the mils. You need NAPA stud kit for the driver side manifold. Discard the paper gasket and get a tri-metal gasket from your FORD dealer. Make sure you have a LONG ratchet extension (or two) and a swivel for your ratchet.


And beer.

Exactly what he said. You'll need a buddy also. Well I did!

If you use the antiseize... make sure there is no residue on your hands when your done. I got some on my stearing wheel when I was done with the install, and it made the leather start peeling off.

Don't forget to be prepared for frustration too. No matter what any company claims nothign ever seems to really be a "simple bolt on". You almost always have to tweek something.

you'll need MIL, but check engine lights will not come on right away. It took about week befor mine did come on(my MIL was backordered).
So if you don't have it, make sure you have one comming

Without the MIL eliminators will your car go into limp mode, or just throw a fit and display the CEL?

Hmmm...mine went right in...no tweaks needed.

On the pax side header you will need about 18 inches of extentions and a swivel adapter to get to those bolts.

Use PB Blaster or similar to soak the bolts and that will make the bolts easier to remove.

You will need an 18mm socket but the normal socket size is not deep enough. The stud is too long and will not allow the socket to seat itselt on the bolt. The deep socket is too long and hits the fenderwell and will not allow it to seat either. If those two scenarios occur, go to Sears (is there Sears on the Island?) and buy a socket that is in between those two. Worked like a charm for me.

once CEL comes on, then your car will go in to limp mode. car runs fine until then
