lol, it took you just as long to explain why caps was on as it would have to retype it:funny:

Hey you said large Pic not PICS :funny:

Looks good man, not sure if it would look better but maybe run that tube under the intake :huh: I dunno it just looks out of place to me

[5.9 R/T]

but why didn't you put the air intake on the other way? That way you wouldn't have the blue tubing running that far... :huh:

[hskrRT]

That's what I'm thinking. Flip the intake over the other way and the tube only has to run pretty much straight up instead of across the engine.

[AllThingsEnd]

The grill looks good. But I don't understand the intake. Aren't you pulling in the hot engine air with the filters mounted like that?:huh: If you had a ram air hood then it would be a different story.

[mdillon]

get a jig saw and chop that hood up!

[TurboBlew]

Time for a dual snorkel ram air hood to maximize intake efficiency!!!!

The AIT sensor is supposed to be relocated into the opening on the tubing up front. A little cut and splice and a grommet is all you need. Otherwise you may throw codes.

Thats a kit from EBAY......Ive seen em but they seem useless w/ hot engine air.....Cowl hood would make it GREAT though

they are great for making a whoosh noise. I have a similar set up when I first got the truck. I am paying off my credit card so it's still on there. But they do suck in a lot of hot air. So mpg aren't really affected.

[DaKoTa 35-2]

True....But the kit I got sucks plenty of air too, and it looks normal...:jester:

currently im just using an edelbrock filter that sits right on top of the TB. hoping to make a box for it soon......just need some sheet metal and some insulting material......

[dakotanut]

That intake is cool. I wouldn't use it cause of all the hot air it is gonna suck in. Then again, 4.7 L's aren't known for a lot of heat.

[JethroStyles]

I almost bought that grill for mt R/Tizzle. I almost bought it like 10 times. But I realized buying on credit was bad. :jester:

I must have a odd 4.7L it gets as hot as my other truck which is a 5.4L(yes my other truck is a F.O.R.D. ... Don't drive it execpt towards the end of the year because father likes to drive my truck because it's 4x4(he hunts a lot) I haven't noticed any losses though from having a filter setup like Dj Wolf's.. A section of piping connected to the TB and a filter connected to the other end of the pipe. I'll get a picture of it if someone wants to see.

[durangokid]

all you have to do with that intake is pipe it off down into the sides
