I just went out to see what ailed my truck and discovered that the top of the air box was smashed.A broken motor mount caused it and I cant find any of the pieces so I assume it must have sucked em in.Think I can take the intake off and get them out or did they melt all over the valves?

 

i dont think the top of your intake got in your motor that is why there is a filter! they probaly just fell out when you were driving

 

It broke just above the actual box right over the throttle body.

 

heres a pic

 

Hopefully they used the same plastic as they did on the dashboards. That stuff would just explode into dust and exit through the exhaust. Have you tried looking around the intake with a small mechanicsmirror?

 

yup I did find 1 bigger piece.Now I know why the trottle stuck wide open on me!It just isn't runnin right,it seems to die when you rev and let off.It goes well below a gran then kinda creeps back up to idle rpm.Doesn't respond like it did either.

 

id take off that intake and make sure everything is out.

 

probably should but I'm thinking about using a huge shop vac,make a cardboardplate that will seal to the intake and suck out the pieces.Yes I'm a redneck so spare me the jokes! LOL

 

hey its all good id do it too lol

 

you might end up saying something along the lines of [sm=oopssign.gif]! lmao
