Install Instructions for 76-1014

Before You Start

Please read the entire installation instruction before proceeding. Ensure you have all the necessary tools to complete the installation. Ensure all parts are present. If you are missing any of the components, call our customer support at (909)947-0015. Do not work on your vehicle while the engine is hot. Make sure the engine is turned off and the vehicle is in Park or the Parking Brake is set. Cleanliness cannot be overemphasized when handling or replacing diesel fuel system components.

Note: This intake elbow kit may not fit with the following aftermarket parts installed: Intercooler or Intercooler Pipe, Custom Hood, Intake Manifold

Post Installation Testing

After your installation is complete, engage parking brake and start your engine. It will take a little longer to initially start since the fuel pump will need time to refill the fuel rail and fuel lines. After the engine starts, listen for any abnormal noises.  If an air leak is detected, re-inspect hoses and bolted connections as they may need to be tightened and/or re-torqued to the correct value. Check for any fuel leaks and tighten and re-torque any leaking fuel lines. Take a short test drive of your vehicle and listen for any abnormal noises. Check again for any fuel leaks. Tighten and/or re-torque any loose connections. S&B FILTERS instructs that you keep your OE intake elbow and associated parts in the event it is required in the future. In order to maintain your warranty, periodically check the items listed in the Maintenance section. Failure to do so may void your warranty.

Maintenance

Periodically (during each engine oil change) Check the Following:

  •  Intake Air Heater electrical connection nuts (Item 16) making sure they are secure and tight.
  •  All electrical connections and wire harnesses moved during the installation of the intake and make sure they are secure and away from any hot or moving components.
  • Check for any signs of abrasion or wear and tear on the electrical harnesses moved or near the Intake Elbow and repair/replace as necessary.

Tools Required: 13mm Open/Box Wrench

Step 102

Examine the Intake Air Heater (Item 15). Determine if you have a Type A or a Type B Intake Air Heater. If your Intake Air Heater came with a single hex nut on the threaded stud, it is Type A, proceed to Step 103. If your Intake Air Heater came with two nuts with a wave spring washer in between, it is Type B, proceed to Step 104.

If your Intake Air Heater is Type A, remove the single hex nut and discard. Then install the M5 Flanged Locknut (Item 16) onto the threaded stud of the Intake Air Heater with the flange facing downward towards the heater coil. Thread the nut only until it just passes the top of the threaded stud. This will make it easier to re-thread the Flanged Locknut in the correct orientation in Step 103B.

Tools Required: 8mm Open/Box Wrench

Step 103B (FOR TYPE A INTAKE AIR HEATER ONLY)

Remove the M5 Flanged Locknut (Item 16) and then re-install it back on the threaded stud but this time with the flange facing upwards and away from the heater coil as shown. Carefully hand tight the Flanged Locknut being careful not to cross thread it.

Tools Required: 8mm Open/Box Wrench

Step 103C (FOR TYPE A INTAKE AIR HEATER ONLY)

Use a 5/32” ignition wrench to hold the threaded stud from spinning or breaking loose from the ceramic body of the heater. Then use an 8mm open wrench to thread the M5 Flanged Locknut (Item 16) until it firmly bottoms out on the threaded stud as shown in the second photo. The Intake Air Heater is now ready to install. Please proceed to Step 105.

Tools Required: 5/32” Ignition Wrench, 8mm Open/Box Wrench

Step 104 (For Type B Intake Air Heater Only)

If your Intake Air Heater is Type B, verify that the lower nut is bottomed out on the threaded stud. Leave the top nut and wave spring washer loose on the threaded stud. The Intake Air Heater is now ready to install. Please proceed to Step 105.

Step 105

Install the Brass Gasket (Item 14) onto the Intake Air Heater (Item 15) as shown. Thread the Intake Air Heater with Gasket into the M22 port on the Intake Elbow and hand tighten.

Step 108

Place both EGR Valve Gaskets (Item 22) onto the Intake Manifold as shown. Then carefully place the EGR valve over the Gaskets making sure that the EGR Valve mounting holes line up with the Gasket holes and the threaded ports of the Intake Elbow. Position the EGR Valve with the tube port pointing towards the front of the truck as shown.

Step 109

Re-install the (4) stock M8 bolts (removed in Step 79) that hold the EGR Valve to the Intake Elbow. For now, only hand tighten.

Tools Required: 10mm Socket/Wrench with 3” Socket Extension or 10mm Deep Socket/Wrench

Step 110

Remove the (8) bolts/threaded stubs securing the breather cover. Make note of where bolts and threaded studs are used so they are not mixed up during re-installation.

Tools Required: 8mm Deep Socket/Wrench, 3” socket extension

Step 111

Remove oil fill cap from the breather cover.

Step 112

Carefully lift the breather cover to reveal the engine cover bracket. Remove the (2) bolts that hold the bracket to the cylinder head cover and remove the bracket.

Tools Required: 8mm Socket/Wrench

Step 113

Re-install the (2) bolts that were holding the bracket to the cylinder head cover. Tighten them firmly to the head cover.

Tools Required: 8mm Socket/Wrench

Step 114

Carefully lower the breather cover back down onto the cylinder head cover. Make sure the bolt holes on the breather cover line up with the threaded holes on the cylinder head cover. After the breather cover is properly aligned and sitting flush with the cylinder head cover, re-install the oil fill cap and tighten.

Step 115

Re-install the (8) bolts/threaded studs that hold the breather cover. Make note of where bolts and threaded studs are used so they are not mixed up during re-installation. Torque the bolts/threaded studs to 89 lb-in.

Tools Required: 8mm Deep Socket, 3” Socket Extension, Torque Wrench

Step 116

Place the grid heater positive cable up between the cylinder head and oil dipstick as shown.

Step 117

Re-install the EGR crossover tube, starting from the EGR cooler side (passenger side). The EGR cooler side has the flat metal gasket and the flat flange on the EGR crossover tube. Carefully line up the EGR crossover tube and flat metal gasket with the EGR cooler and hold them all together.

Step 118

Carefully slide the V-band clamp over the flanges of the EGR cooler and EGR crossover tube. Install the T-bolt and nut to the V-band clamp once the clamp is properly seated in place. Position and orient the T-bolt and nut as shown and hand tighten only at this time.

Tools Required: 11mm Deep Socket/Wrench

Step 119

Re-install the EGR crossover tube at the EGR valve side (drivers side). The EGR valve side has the cone shaped composite gasket and the cone shaped flange on the EGR crossover tube. Carefully line up the EGR crossover tube and cone shaped composite gasket with the EGR valve and hold them all together.

Step 120

Carefully slide the V-band clamp over the flanges of the EGR valve and EGR crossover tube. Install the T-bolt and nut to the V-band clamp once the clamp is properly seated in place. Position and orient the T-bolt and nut as shown and hand tighten only at this time.

Tools Required: 11mm Deep Socket/Wrench

Step 121

Torque the T-bolt and nut on the EGR valve to 89 lb-in.

Tools Required: 11mm Deep Socket, Torque Wrench

Step 122

Torque the T-bolt and nut on the EGR cooler to 89 lb-in.

Tools Required: 11mm Deep Socket, Torque Wrench

Step 123

Torque the bolts holding the EGR valve in a criss-cross fashion to 18 lb-ft.

Tools Required: 10mm Deep Socket, 3” Socket Extension, Torque Wrench

Step 124

Install the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) hose fully onto the throttle valve and then position the hose clamp as shown. Torque the hose clamp to 10 lb-ft. 

Tools Required: 11mm Deep Socket, Torque Wrench

Step 125

Re-install the intake throttle shield, threaded stud and bolt and hand tighten. 

Tools Required: 10mm Deep Socket/Wrench, 13mm Socket/Wrench

Step 126

Torque the intake throttle shield bolt to 89 lb-in. 

Tools Required: 13mm Socket, Torque Wrench

Step 127

Torque the intake throttle shield threaded stud to 89 inch lbs.
Tools required: 10mm Deep Socket, Torque Wrench

Step 128

Re-attach the EGR valve and temperature sensor harness retaining clip to the threaded stud.
