I,ve been looking at the way the intake hose on my heater is routed, it doesn,t look right at all, although the heater seems to work o.k. it can,t be getting much air thu, those sharp bends. Anybody any suggestions
Thanks
Dave

Looks just like mine. Or at least the trucks that have that hose.

Well you asked for suggestions, so Why not move the air intake scoop back and use a straight pipe for the intake?

the location of the scoop is correct. If you move it back it will not allow the side access door to lay flat on the fender

Per the technical article here:

Some folks mount the heater at a more severe angle in order to straighten that hose out, although it may make filter changes more difficult.

mine is bolted directly to the side panel, where the intake for the heater is flush w/ the opening. seems like a good idea, but you can't lower the side panel w/o raising the hood, and when you do it stresses the hoses.

Install it in the cab, then you have lots of room still under the hood!
