Carli Pintop 3.25" Install

[BoatieTX]

Well, my Carli kit showed up today. Pintop 3.25" with Add-a-packs, and the Thuren sway bar. Also, got the CJC Racelines. Will post pics as it comes along.

Funny thing... I did get a surprise with my purchase.

cv axles?

 

[BoatieTX]

Yeah. LOL

I called CJC and asked them. They told this is the third instance over the last couple months where the Add-a-packs box was damaged and in-turn CV axles were then tapped to the box!!! Sounds like there are some car owners out there that keep wondering about where their axles are....

 

[elephantrider]

very strange. a friend ordered some kit from an online shop and he was sent a full banks ram air intake horn, along with what he ordered. I know warehouse / shipping process flows, and stuff like that boggles my brain.

 

[Hooligan]

Odd, what do the CV axles fit?
Must be a random fulfillment center and not actually from a CJC or Carli warehouse as they don’t make or sell CV ( that I’m aware of)

 

[BoatieTX]

Carli said it does not come from them. They pack/load boxes at the shop. They believe it is UPS somewhere in their logistics chain.

Hopefully will be finished with the install today. Then I will get to posting some pics.

Purdy purdy! What kind of mpg's are you seeing with the lift and 37's?

Looks great!

It could be the lighting, but I don't see the Carli marking on the coils. Are you sure they are on the correct side?

Just got her done up and haven't driven that much over the holiday weekend. Will revert with good numbers soon. I need to get the dealership to flash the ECM to the new size tires also.

Dealership probably wont do the reflash unless you have one of the good ones and worked a deal with them. legal issues.

Most of us have used AlfaOBD to adjust for tire size, TMPS threshold and other options.

You had me running scared for min.... LOL I'm thinking to myself how the H3LL did I miss that. But luckily didn't.

Got our first measurable rain in 147 days on Saturday (who's counting right?!?) so the truck is dirty.

Thanks for bringing that up!

Goiong to reach out to service guy I know pretty well and see about it now. If not, AlphaOBD here we come.

Lots of other things you can do with Alfa.

If you haven't checks the Alfa thread, its worth a look.

Glad to hear it. There have been many that haven't.
