Relocated my Battery today

[Ken in AZ]

I started the day off planning on just an oil change, trans fluid change, and axle fluid change....switching all fluids to amsoil and I noticed that my Negative battery terminal had quite a bit of corrosion going on. I had noticed the past few times I've worked on my truck that I got some holes on the front of my shirt...guess I know where they came from now :bang

anyway, I started taking things apart, broke out the baking soda and water and went to town de-acidizing the problem areas. then it hit me, what iff I move my battery to where my BHAF is and vice versus. well 5 hours later...........:ylsuper:

I also took my air hose and blew out my BHAF from the inside out.....bunch of dirt came out

Result = 2 more psi raising my total boost to 47psi:woohoo: :ylsuper: I did change more than one condition, so did the position change really do anything? or is it because the BHAF was almost clogged and I blew it out caused the increase of boost, maybe the amsoil cause the turbo to boost easier...maybe all those combined helped....who cares, now my truck runs like a raped ape

BTW I did do the oil change trans and rear axle fluid change tomorrow

Do you have to extend any cables?


My idea is hide batteryes under cab floor ,to make more room for twins.

I did have to drill out the tray for the airbox studs though...all in all was pretty easy, now my clutch is slippin :frown:
