hey mean green & others in this post; it looks like u have fog lights on your truck mean green, but my dak doesn't have em. so check this out and tell me what u think. Soo i'm thinking if i can run hose from the fog light holes(after cutting em out) on each side of the bumper to the air box, it deff would be waterproof from gravity and also double the cold air intake pressure into the airbox(=more power!!). although, i would have to cut a hole through the horizontal framing plate(infront and right of the airbox) on the airbox side. On the opposite side i could run the air hose up over the radiator(tightly) or through the bumper or behind the bumper under the radiator assembly.
Off the air box, i think i might have enough room to run a Y type pcv pipe(2 into 1)... to conjoin the two intake tubes from the new foglight intake holes. i think the gravity and bends in the hoses would take care of the rain problem and the bug problem so i wouldn't have to worry about disconnecting it in the heavy stuff.
Ok, heres the flip side(i might be thinking too hard now), do you think all the bends and length in the hosing would drop the intake pressure lower than how we have it set up now, and defeat the purpose making the whole idea irrelavent? would having two air flows going into one at the y pipe cause a bad flow or a back flow if there was a path of least resistance into the one of the intakes??? i'm probaly gunna do it anyways just to do it, but i want a couple opinions before i start. i think w/ the right materials, some good idea's and plans it could deff. work. thanks in advance for the help!!!

 

I think that would be a sweet set up for out on the highway. but like you said about the air flow, maybe in town it might be too long to suck through. but I would try it anyways. it sounds good.

let me know how that gos, im trying to do something like that too, if I think of somthing i'll let u know.

 

if i could find the right size funnel in black to fit infront of the fog light holes we could just cut em to the right size and silicone or epoxy the hose through the bumper assembly to the cut funnel. the hoses could be worked pretty easily where ever they're needed to run back to the airbox. think RAM AIR!!! and hp!

 

now that would look sweet. you better start workin on her this weekend

Rhowe, dustyloins told me that he had a friend go through a foglight hole and he loved it. The foglight actually has a funnel characteristic to it already so I wouldn't bother with a funnel. My only concern with the whole thing is if you get the tubing too close to the engine you could end up having hot air in the engine anyway. As long as you keep it away from the engine it would be great though I think. I say go for a dual as long as you can keep both air tubes away from the engine.

 

wow i cant believe this thread is still going who would have thought a little thought i had driving down the road one day would get this many people so involved lol but it's been several weeks sence i modified my intake and i ended up sticking a piece of cardboard in my airbox to force air up through the filter before i put any sheet metal mods and just by doing that i'm getting 18.4 miles to the gallon when i keep my foot out of it so it made it go up .4 yay lol i'm going to make a piece out of fiberglass or sheet metal eventually i think but right now its just got the cardboard piece i drove through some very heavy rain the other day and everything stayed dry including the cardboard so i think the only time your going to have problem if your going to be on major freeways with mist from other cars i drove about 30 miles down the highway in rain so hard i could barely see the road and everything was fine let us know how the fog light thing worked for ya rhowe

 

Hell yeah good stuff man. I'm going to do anything (cheap) that I can to my D that'll give me any gains as I'm moving from NY to NV, hell a k&n drop in will have paid for itseld by the end of my trip) . I'm gonna try and keep it at 65 mph too for the extra 1-1.5 mpg that would give me. I like going 75-80 and NY doesn't go higher than 55 anywhere I have to drive. [:@]
Oh and to the mods I think this thread deserves a sticky.
