A more forgiving EGR cooler design is integral to the durability of the component. During the life of an engine, a ‘thermal event’ — that is, an occurrence in which sufficient coolant flow is prevented from reaching the EGR cooler — will cause a temperature spike in the unit that often leads to component failure. This leads to truck downtime, additional repair costs, and legal issues, as keeping the EGR cooler operational is a necessary contingent for public road-use legality in all 50 states.

Stubborn fasteners are easily broken away with this durable, professional grade impact wrench. The digital microprocessor-controlled switch maximizes performance with three variable forward and reverse settings that help the tool adapt to various applications. A built-in brake quickly stops the anvil to prevent throwing fasteners while the brushless motor provides a smooth start-up. The CT9010 weighs only 4.9 lb. with the battery, and its bright 100 lumen LED headlight illuminates the work area making it the perfect choice for challenging, dimly lit tasks.
The CT9010 kit includes two 5Ah batteries and charger with a built-in USB port. It has a two-year warranty on the tool, charger and battery. (www.snapon.com)
Utilizing an oversized ball joint and tough poly bushings, these end heavy-duty links can tolerate higher loads that would cause the stock parts to break and wear rapidly. The ball joint allows for greater articulation than bushing-only replacement end links can which prolongs the bushing life and allows for normal sway bar movement.
All components are designed to be easily serviceable and wear items are low-cost to replace. It’s ideal for stock height to 2-inch suspension lift and can be installed in approximately an hour. (www.bddiesel.com)
Benefits include a broad RPM range torsional vibration protection, a reduced risk of crankshaft failure and less wear on critical engine parts. (www.fluidampr.com)

Maintaining a full range of motion, the direct-fit upper control arms expand caster angles and improve ball joint pivot angles for more straight-line stability and greater wheel travel when the trail gets rough—all while providing greater strength and toughness.
A perfect complement to any of BILSTEIN’s 5100 RHA, 6100 RHA, 6112 and 8112 suspension packages, the B8 UCAs feature 4130 chromoly tubular steel construction and are professionally MIG-welded with formed steel bushing gussets for superior strength.
Performance improvements of the B8 line include better alignment specs on lifted vehicles, and an optimized ball joint angle to reduce stress and gain wheel travel and clearance for larger shock and spring packages. (www.bilstein.com)
