I have the shaker hood on my 99. See below. The first time I washed the truck after it was installed, I got water in the TB. I fixed this by drilling several small 1/8" holes around the lowest part of the filter area and have not had a problem since. The fresh cool air from this intake really did help the engine run better, not faster, but smoother. On really cold mornings it does run a little faster but not much, but is a lot quicker off the line. Jeff.

I dont have any problems either. My hood came with a water hole already drilled. So no worries here. JUst make sure you clear out snow and stuff.
