•Reattach the intercooler shroud and air dam in the reverse
order of removal. Be careful! Do not allow the studs in the air
dam to scratch the paint.
•Install the cross tube into the side plates, one side at a time. It
is easiest to angle the cross tube into position with one side
farther towards the rear of the truck. You will need to flex the
air dam downwards until the hitch receiver aligns with the
cutout.
•Attach both side plates to the cross tube by installing one 1/2”-
13 x 1-1/2” grade 8 hex bolt with one 1/2” SAE flat washer
into each of the five holes per side plate. Secure each bolt with
one 1/2 split lock washer and one 1/2”-13 grade 8 hex nut.
