Im getting ready to install the intake on my 99 5.2, do any of you have tips on how to install it?

 

just have the directions read and understood completely before starting the install.. it'll make it go alot smoother.

 

Note that your truck may not look exactly like the directions either. Mine didn't have a lot of the stuff that it says you need to relocate, so my install was very easy. After you remove the stock airhat, it is a good time to clean your TB and sensors too in my opinion. Remove the TB from the engine, and clean it up at your workbench with carb cleaner and rags. It is also a good time to replace your cap and rotor since you will have much easier access to them with your airhat off. Make sure your new K&N airhat fits flush against the TB before you tighten up the tube support (you don't want a gap of air that could suck in outside dirt particles).

 

directions ? who reads those?

 

When all else fails, then read the directions.

 

Mine was the K&N for the V-10

Laid out all the parts in the order they were to be installed.

Then followed the directions step by step--------Had no problems other than the bolt used through the fenderwell to hold on the heat sheild. Resorted to a moment of canniblism to get bolt through and all was good. Also the hose clamp they provided to hold the unit to the bracket attached to the radiator did'nt work so well, but what good is a project without a left-over part or two.

Good luck and dig in.

 

i had a leftover nut, and I think i just realized where mine was supposed to go.. (it wasnt in the directions either.)
)

 

First of all thanks for all the help it was great, but the instructions were useless. Well i got it on and i had one more question, what do you use to conect the saddle to the intake tube?

 

didnt it come with any of those screw type ring connectors? (no idea what they are called atm)

 

hose clamps?
