After the disappointment with the BPP Vortex Air-Rammer system, Ernie has agreed that he would refund me since I was not happy, and he was unable to offer any other suggestions or solutions.

Anyways, uninstalling the unit is simple, but it now leaves us with a cut open AC shroud. I know I could just run the stock units with the cutout, but I want to put it back to stock completely.

We cannot easily get the A/C shroud removed -- does anyone have any idea how it is removed? It is mostly connected with those 'barb-style' plastic clips; which have all been removed. There are also two screws through the bottom of the bumper which have been removed. The shroud is very loose, but we can't work it out. It may be possible that the front bumper needs to removed and the shroud comes in from the bottom, but we don't want to exactly remove the bumper yet.

Also, does anyone know a source for a Shop Manual??? That is another thing that would help tremendously. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Ted

 

Are you talking about the plastic piece that sits diagonally from the front impact bar and goes towards the radiator under where the factory air cleaner sits? Hre's the directions from the shop manual. Sorry, the pictures don't show up for some reason.
