KONGon22s Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) Can anyone shed light on this or maybe have tried it? I see various intake manufacturers offer a lower intake tube underneath the bumper for older body styles and the diesels. Anyone know why there aren't any for the 14-18 1500s? Some sort of ram-air is the closest to forced induction I can think of. It's "free" air underneath so why not?

CamGTP Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I don't see the need for it. The stock intake already pulls air from the passenger side fenderwell and that is more than good enough to pull in close to ambient temp air. The stock airbox is not starving for air even on a 6.2, it's not out flowing it so that is why I don't see the need for one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokismoki Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) fully warmed up my IAT is at 85F. ambient is 70 degrees , for a difference in 10F why bother if you want to blow money, you can get the hood from the diesel and the CAI diesel parts, this works well for ram air. hoods are 500 bux, and another 500 and change for the diesel ram air parts, paint and fab is another 600-800 bux. so $2000 those other kits will be prone to sucking in water and hydrolocking the motor Edited May 15, 2021 by pokismoki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like no benefit, so no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
