Hi all,

Ok here's my problem... I have a 1997 Dodge Dakota SLT Club Cab.
I am looking for a part. its called an "Air Intake Bonet" by dodge.
I would prefer not to pay the inflated price that the dealer wants for a new one, but... I am having problems locating an aftermarket one or one from a salvage yard.

so here's my question... does anyone know of a place that i can buy this part (after market) preferred.

thanks,

Robert.

 

if ur talking about the piece on the tb, don't bother its very restrictive.
most ppl get a cai but for $10 u could get a 3" hose or use plastic pipe.
this is a hose i got from pepboys, i don't have the v6 but it shouldn't b to different.

 

thanks so much for the advice.. i give it a try...

thanks again

 

ok great idea.. but where the mass airflow sensor relocated at >? is it just underneath or something that pic doesnt show? cuz id love to do this with my 4.7 dak.. give it some more air get rid of that box on top.. but no clue where id relocate the plug..

thanks

 

I don't think it has a MAF sensor, it's MAP instead. It's a sensor located on the throttle body.

 

yea on my 4.7 i had no maf. there are 2 senesors on the drivers side of my tb.
the tps and maf i think. but i didn't have to move anything.

 

some of the 4.7s had a maf, when u order a k&n setup if u have a maf u have to drill a hole in the tube/pipe, and i got mine used from a guy that had a maf

 

ok i was wrong i dont have a MAF i have a MAP... soo is that something worth replacing to try to improve mpg.. i took it out of air box.. and 1 side of it was dirty.. i bought some map cleaning spray and honestly it didnt clean it off should 1 side of the MAP be sorta brown instead of the normal blue ? LOL im guessing no.. but im curious if i just go get me some 3 in pvc pipe like the above pic and just cut a hole into it and somehow fasten it in ..

 

u going to put pvc pipe instead of the hose?
that works just the same. i'm actually making a cold air
intake right now w/ pvc pipe and a cone, i'll post pics.

im not sure about the sensor ur talking about but u could put a bung in the pipe
they do that on the k&N kits.

 

well i guess im stealing ur thread robertrick.
it is related to the topic tho.

alot guys have done this already, i just decieded to make
my own homebrew intake. total price 35 bucks. i still gotta make a heatshield
but for now i like it and it sounds better above 2k.
