With a bored throttle body, I find it hard not to smile every time I give it some gas. My gas tank sure does empty faster than it used to, but the truck is also a blast to drive. I also dont ever keep a full tank of gas anymore; its just added weight over the rear axle which is never a good thing unless its snowing out.

 

nice! oreillys carries a grommet kit. comes with a whole bunch of em. Is there any differance of putting a small filter on the rubber hose versus attaching it to the intake pipe? Try building a heat sheild around yer filter, It seemed like it helped mine a little,

 

Build yourself one of these, too!

Total Costs were Approximately as follows:

Spectre Filter from Autozone - $25
Spectre breather filter " - $10
3" to 3" coupler (lowes) - $6.50
90* ABS street elbow - $4.50
45* Street ABS -$4.00
(10FT of 3" ABS-$20.00) -$2.00

If you break that down to the foot that's $2 per foot.

So apx. $52.00 not counting pvc glue and rtv/grommet. But you can also save $10 by running your breather tube back into the intake, the little filter was just so much easier.

Oh and I already have a flowmaster so I know about the driving in lower gears because it sounds cool disease

 

I stopped by Lowes yesterday and was checking out the parts I would need and I noticed that they sale 3" ABS pipe in 2' and 10' sections.

So I am going to swing by and pick up all the parts at Lowes and then go to O`Reillys and get the gromment kit. I am going to tap the breather hose into the intake.

Like others, I too have concerns about a heat shield. I am going to run the filter into the stock airbox and see if that makes a difference.

 

Hi:

I'm wonder why no manufacturer has done a CAI for our v6 trucks?
At least for mine which is a 2010! All I have found is for v8 only.

By the way good job how it sound now?

05-10 v6 and v8 dakotas use the same intake

by the way, great job buckmaster

 

That's what I tough! then why doesn't come CIA for our trucks?
Make a search and you will find what I'm talking abut!
I make this search on K&N and many others all done for the 4.7L V8, check out!!
