Default 03/04 Head tick issue???

Hey guys. Well i've been thinking about buying a Terminator for some time now and wanted to know exactly what is needed to properly fix the dreaded head tick / Cant do long WOT runs problem.

Will i be doing alot of WOT runs? Heck no! But it would be nice to know that i dont have to worry about the engine going boom from this problem. Also if you guys that chime in could tell me about how much im looking at $$$, that would be great.

Thanks in advance for the help guys.

EvenFlow Head cooling mod is what you need:

http://www.lethalperformance.com/03-...ng-mod-p-16947

This is the same one I bought. Very easy install, you do not have to take the blower off either. The hardest part is getting the freeze plug out but in the directions they give you different methods to try. It's not that expensive of a mod and you can use the forum discount to save some money on it, since lethalperformance is a forum sponsor. PM "Jared" (Boostaddict) for the discount code.

Technically it is not a sure fix but it does help a ton. The 04's do not seem to get it where as the 03's do, but I wanted to do it to my car to prevent it. This is just based off my personal experience and is not a fact.
