I have a 1994 ram 2500. Stock, but i want to do a cold air intake custom. i was wondering if anyone had any ideas i know that we are using 4in? or what ever the intake port diamiter is. Right name? but im going to put a K&N on for a filter just not sure where in the bay. i was thinking on the left side of the radiator where the grill is and no radiatior? is this a good move?

Also how much have you guys towed with this truck? just want to know for a reference. We are pulling our ice shack off and i want to tow it (around 2000 by herself) and using a goodsize trailor like 25+ft all steel able to haul 2 skid loaders.
well just stopin in. first time here. looks like a good site!

 

2500 will hold up fine under towing, and also you want the CAI as far away from heat as possible, so i'd suggest to the left down past the radiator support.

 

yeah thats what i was thinking. would a long tube like that be able to flow air enough?

and also i was just wondering what was the very max you have pulled

 

i drive a 1500, my bobcat weighs around 11000lbs and my trailer weighs around 2000lbs and i can pull that fine all day long if need be, also have no problem stopping it if i need to.

And as far as the tube goes, it doesnt really matter. It's not going to act like a ramair intake anyways

 

if i wanted to make a "ram air" system how would i go about doing that?

would that ram air work for in town? also would that work if i wanted to go "mudding" not like hardcore but like off road after it rained a little bit. maybe thats called puddling or something ha but would that work?

 

I wouldn't run in the mud with it if you're going to be hitting anything that can splash into the tubes. I probably wouldn't run it in the rain either, unless you put a splash shield in front of it.

 

if i didnt do that could i run those tubes just inside the engine bay but cut them shorter (by the radatior) and put K&N's on them? would that be better over say a single tube?

 

Then it would be a hot air intake and you may as well get a 14x3. It would work and you don't need two filters, the ram air setup has a round air filter inside it.
