Looks great, Very happy with it, held up real nice, no extra noise, I've not noticed any significant performance gains, but if you look where I've put it for the time being I don't think it's getting all the air it could. In the works a little farther down the road is a snorkel kit to relocate...

Got guages hooked up and retested with original mushroom cap. Didn't see any real hint of vacumm and I did get it videoed, but it got too late to read the guage during the test with the new scoop on even with the video camera and a flashlight. Also had to pick up a exaust clamp to secure the...

My truck's back up and running, I'm getting the guages tonight from the in-law. Gotta get a clamp from Dixie and then I can test!

Pics of the freshly painted scoop and progress of my truck! Also my less than $10 horn upgrade!

My vacuum guage only goes negitive pressure (hand pump with guage), thus why I was looking into using A/C guages. The low side goes positive and negitive. I plan on eventually mounting it higher like a snorkle kit but $$$ is preventing it right now, then it'll get lots of nice clean air...

Didn't Repo buy one too? Haven't heard from him lately... I need to post some pics of my scoop after paint. It took to paint like a nun to church!! Looks great!

Yeah some one earlier made that point, but I'm fixing to find out for sure, call me hard headed. After talking with my father in-law about trying to measure the possibility of vacuum or pressure in the air box we came up with a no cost solution. He has a set of R22 a/c guages that he can adapt...

Got mine painted last night but it'll be a little while longer before I can test it, I have my truck still tore apart at this point.

Couple pics of it mocked up.

Got mine in yesterday! Pics on the way!

Not got mine yet. That reading was with the original mushrum cap. Looks like my thoughts of a vacum being applied in the air box was busted. I'll check it before and after with a pressure guage instead of a vacum guage when I get mine. I'm waiting for the intake now, but I think a 5in to 4 in...

Took a base line reading today measuring the pressure or lack there of in my air filter housing. I tested using the line at the back of the filter minder. The results showed 0 in of vac. at all times in all gear ranges and speeds. I also checked my air filter minder for proper operation since I...

Here's the link, it's got more pics. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?104861-Ram-air-scoop-for-M35-M813-M923-series-trucks

Vintage Iron has the steel ones picured in this thread, here in the classfieds. Me and Repo I know have ordered one and are enthusiasticly waiting on them. Pics and a write up on how they were adapted to our trucks and if we noticed any difference coming shortly after.

Good idea Heath, and there's already a line plumbed inside the cab for that too that I could use to hook it up right? Talking about the airflow restriction guage line, I could temporaraly hook something to that to colltect that kind of data. I do have a hand vacum pump, I'll hook it up and try...

At idle the engine shouldn't be consuming enough cfm's for it to be a restriction. As far as running down the road, I'll give my 2cents worth.....If you are familar with the principle of airflow across a opening creates a vacum in the opening, as a example I have a A/C evac too that uses shop...

Appreciated! Just to let you know, the hole on the bottom needs to be for 4 in pipe. Our 2 1/2 tons have a different pipe size than you 5 ton, Looks great though. I'll be checking the classifieds but PM me I'll buy the first! Was it a NO on the diamond plate steel option?

Congrat's on your fiance[thumbzup], mine's a little harder to talk into pics. What collar are you refering to? My truck has a 4 in pipe that has a couple of slots cut lenth wise in it and just a regular turbo clamp that's not welded on. Just a 4 in diameter pipe out the bottom about 6 in long...
