    Matt, i read this in your pinch weld faq. What do you mean with plastic hvac line guide ?

    2) Cut away as much from the plastic HVAC line guide as possible. It sticks out further than it needs to and you'll gain almost 1/2" more clearance.

    Trim the part circled in red. It'll allow you to pull the fender liner back further for more clearance.

    I looked at my engine (07 hemi) and those hoses look like they'll work. Did you pull off your engine cover and look where the existing hoses go? They come out of the firewall and go in the rear/top of the engine.

    You also shouldn't have to cut any hoses. Just move the clamps and twist/pull to get the existing hoses off without damaging them.

    No, left handed. I will give it a new try on monday. Seems strange that there is a difference in the heating / cooling, but who know ??

    I wonder if there are minor differences in the XH.
