I will start off by saying after presenting an issue regarding my JLT intake to Jay, he was very receptive, and quickly sent a replacement tube that arrived today via UPS at no charge!
The replacement tube is color-keyed DTR as the original tube, and looks awesome!
The issue was discovered this past weekend when mercman and I paid the Chicago boys and girls a surprise visit during their get together off of Route 66.
The tube end that is clamped to the elbow, that connects to the throttle body appeared to be distorted (sunk in).
I had to look closely as it was not very obvious at first.
Tuesday afternoon, I started uninstalling the intake to get a better look at the extent of the distortion.
Once the tube was separated from the elbow, it was apparent that heat had effected the shape of the tube, and was collapsing in on itself.
I am not sure if this has been posted on the board or not, but wanted to share this with the owners of JLT's intake as a potential issue down the road.
The intake has been on my MM for about a year and a half, and is a part time driver.
Inside of the original tube is white in color while the replacement tube on the inside is black in color. Not sure if this is an identifier or not, but thought I would add that difference as I am sure Jay can clear this up for us?
Thanks again Jay for your quick response and shipment of the new tube.
Mike.
