Jeesh, I can't keep CAC's in this damn truck! I've had this truck since new, 12/09. The first CAC lasted 3 years, and since then it's been every 2 goddam years! Almost like clockwork.

make sure all your bushings are good and that things are not over tightened. That whole front structure needs to have a bit of give to it. Also when installing new, don't force any screws into their holes if they do not align up perfectly. Grind out the hole in the frame instead so that no stress is applied to the CAC or radiator.

Lastly, when opening your hood, don't let it slam open. This will kill a CAC in a hurry and I see lots of guys do this at the truck stops while shaking my head every time.

You also haul heavy. There is likely some twist in the frame when pushing things hard so make sure your lower front structure bushings are in good shape/not bound as well.
