When you hit 50 posts on this forum you can PM one of the reps from American Muscle and they can give you a discount code to use.

Oh, so that's why the blew me off .

It's just about a $14 difference with/without it, not sure if stack able?

I'm probably going to order tonight, so no way I'll reach 50 posts in time. Oh well .

Unless, you wanna PM for me

Default 2014 DIB 3.7 w/ sport shift "Blue Cyclone"

Ok guys "tube" and SCT 93 octane "canned" tune is the 1st. step. Didn't mean to double post, just saw your pic's and see you haven't changed the radiator reservoir hose to the "new" check valve hose, do that soon too.

I'm sorry. I don't understand. Could you please explain why and what this is?

Well, just ordered my BAMA tune from AmericanMuscle.com, can't wait. Been thinking about this mod for sometime, now I finally get to try it out.

BTW, Shout out to Alex L. from AM for being so helpful. Honestly, the reason I deal with that company is the customer service, hands down the best support and CS around.

The 11-14 3.7 cyclone has a TSB out on the hose going from the radiator reservoir to the pump, the replacement hose has a "check valve" in it.Part # ER3Z-8276-A at Ford service. Check your hose for a check valve, if it does not have the valve go get the replacement hose, it may save your water pump from early death.

For future members who might use this post as a reference down the line, if you are going the CAI/Intake route, definitely Check out the Steeda CAI and Steeda tune.

I didn't want to spend a lot of $ on my car. But I believe the Steeda CAI and tune is the best $ can buy.

Cause if I want speed I'm going supercharger or nitrious

Someone once said "Speed costs money, so how fast do you wanna pay?" Parts ain't cheap, but if you feel up to doing the labor the gains can be amazing!
Appreciate the feedback!
