Thanks! Pics coming soon. It's either been 100 degrees or raining here lately.
My new truck is all stock. I will probably keep it that way (for now at least!). Maybe a catback? It came with a K&N CAI, but I removed it and reinstalled the OEM air box. I think the engine bay looks better.
Nice, that's how I obtained mine and it still had the factory warranty on it. The simple mods I have performed are easily reversible and I keep all the OEM parts. Putting on the OEM air box was a smart move for sure. My testing has shown that that OEM feed from the radiator block off scoop into the fender area keeps the intake temps within 6 degrees of ambient when the engine is fully warmed up. Even in summer here in Arizona. This is VERY important since the ECM starts to pull timing once the intake air reaches 104 degrees.
Cheers!
Good to know. Thanks for the info! I do think the OEM box lines up nice with the fender opening and looks clean. However, the empty battery tray is odd. :dontknow:
At some point soon, I will probably get a cat-back. Only reason, the previous owner replaced just the muffler of the stock exhaust. It sounds ok, but the install job is not real good. I will probably just remove the whole thing and get something aftermarket.
Thanks!
