So... A week or so ago, when I upgraded to the aFe BladeRunners, I misplaced the longer screws for my GFB DV+ after taking it off the OEM hot side pipe. I firmly believe they went to be with the 10mm sockets. :question:

I got the screws that came with the aFe pipes, but they were only long enough for the factory diverter valve. I ended up putting the TurboSmart dual port valve back on. Today, I finally went to Home depot and got some M6x1x35 cap screws that would accommodate the DV+ and swapped it back out.

So, if anyone doesn't like the screws that GFB sends with the DV+, or your screws go to fuck-knows-where, that's the size from Home Depot that will work.

Installed 1.5” Truxxx level on the Tremor today. Took my son’s Ford Mechanic friend 1.5 hours, including the alignment. Ride is slightly stiffer, which I like. I think it looks great level.

That's why I eat chicken wings on the porch. Just so they know what I am capable of.
