just wondering if the 2007 5.9 has a turbo silencer ring on them. if so....how do you take it off....thanks

 

yes it does...

do a quick search for silencer ring removal, you will find plenty of info.

 

thanks man.....will this hurt my truck or cause any damage? it is driven daily about 150 miles a day at speeds of 70+. do u recommend i do it even though it is driven that much

 

No it wont hurt the truck....but you will definitely hear the turbo....

 

YES that is what i want!!!!!!! do u know if there is a pic some where of the ring so i know what to look for

 

well i just spent two hours trying to remove it...did not work. i tried and tried...the little ring holding the turbo silencer ring back would not come off!!!!!!! any help?

 

I got mine out with just one small flat head screw driver, but alot of guys on here say that they needed to use 2 of them. Just be very careful not to slip and scratch anything. It will come out....you just need to get the retainer clip in the right position.

 

i did scratch up the housing by the ring just a little bit...hopefully not to much...i am so worried now that my turbine wheel will bust on my going down i-95 at 76 mph

 

I highly doubt you did any damage.. it is tricky to get the snap ring out that is for sure.

 

ok good....i will find out today...thanks guys

 

the snap ring has angled ends to it, best way to describe it is one end is like this / the ohter like this \ if you can not get a point under one end of the snap ring, try the other end. seems simple, but if you are tryin to wedge under the sloping away side vs the other, it makes all the difference.

after that is done, you will want to gut the intake tube, removing the baffles, or get an aftermarket intake like an afe with intake tube to really hear that baby whistle.

 

one side has a slight bezel on it. Place a very small straight screw driver under it, lift up and towards you and it will come right out. Mine took 2 minutes...

 

hmmm... i try it.....but im so worried ill mess up my turbo its not even funny

 

go for it, if ya mess it up, its a good excuse as any to upgrade ! but think about it, if the tip of what you are using is not getting under to pry the end of the clip, try the other end of the clip or a smaller tipped tool, icepick small screwdriver.... once you get it started you may need to grab it with a pair of pliers to work it around and out.

 

i don't got that kinda of money being only 15...i think my warranty still covers it though
