TorqueTube Installation 1. With the vehicle in neutral, safely raised, ground wire(s) disconnected, and precautions in place, remove the factory exhaust system. 2. To provide better access to the manifolds remove the front wheels from the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with inner front fender shields, remove them for improved access. Note: Before removing the lug nuts, make sure a capable torque wrench is available to tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s torque specifications 3.

6. Remove the driver side manifold by lowering the manifold under the truck on the inside of the frame rail. Remove the dipstick tube by removing the 10mm bolt that bolts the dipstick to the head (retain bolt for re-use in step 11). Use a small hammer to tap the arm on the dipstick upward and it will come out of the block. If your vehicle is equipped with four-wheel drive, disengage the forward coupling of the front drive shaft from the front axle by removing the four bolts at the flange.
