The key is to count the number of passageways and their size. That seems to be the downfall of duraquit anyways. On my prostar, the durasmite has 12, but the OEM has 18. - That works out to only about 66% of the flow capacity of the OEM, and i have seen several trucks with intake boots collapsing when you get on the throttle because they are so restrictive.

They all brag about their welds like a bunch of morons, but that is not the problem with CAC units, and never really has been. It is the mounting and torsional loads placed on them by way of worn out mounting bushings, mis-aligned mounting holes, and not enough give to the front structure frame work. That is what makes them fail, and not so much simply bad welds. ALL of that can be corrected when installing a new one if someone just takes the time to make sure all radiator mounting bushings and CAC bushings are in good shape, they all have some give to them and are not binding, and that any screw holes in the framework that don't align well get ground out so that they do.
