Has anyone switched their truck to cold air? Is it worth the money, am I going to gain any power, or is dropping my K&N filter about all I am going to get through this route. Still shopping for headers, however getting Mama to buy off on this is anouther story.

Thanks, what do you think gives me the best bang for my buck?
For a little extra go go without tearing the engine down? Are you fuel injected or carbed?

That explains why I have no pick up and go!
Yep, but i believe it was for the 22RE not 3.slow
lol... (If I can say that here)
OP, once you pull off your existing exhaust manifolds (which will be HARD), you'll see the majority of why we call it the 3.slow. One tube almost blows right back up the other. In the 2001 cat I have, Downey claims their header will do 11hp when routed back to the stock exhaust. 14 and "radical bottom end" when routed through their 2 1/2 system...
If I had the money, I'da done it LONG ago... I have a 14mm head bolt 3.0 and it's NEVER let me down... I love the things... well, except for the bad MPG's it gets, but I've got a intake gasket leaking...
As for the Cold Air kit, most are just tubes that get the intake inlet out of the hot engine compartment. And most run low to get it. In a 4wd that defeats a lot of purpose and it's kinda a waste of time, unless it never sees any water or mud.
You can get cool air from a cowl induction to, but that's either a custom piece, and or gonna get expensive. My guess as to why it's not done a lot is b/c of aerodynamics...
A Safari or ARB Snorkel will work to.

dont matter if it was a V10 or a damn briggs & stratton engine.
same results same reasons why NOT to waste time with it.
bottom line you want a "cold air intake"
buy a damn honda and roll those lame 20 inch wheels with it.
