My frame isn't that bad.











But please don't test it.

 

lmao if you jumped my truck, I'm not sure the frame would be the first thing on my mind. If I go fast over one of those roads where there's a big bump in the road, I can damn near bottom out. My suspension is seriously not welcoming to jumps.

 

Well that would sure be a quick way to break shit on my truck lol

 

Snow today...

 

Well then again, who knows. Everyone talks so highly of 1st gens. Maybe I'd be surprised. Buuut. I have my doubts.

 

Hopefully it's actually something I can have a little fun in. Getting a bit tired of these weak dustings. Not only is that useless for snow donuts, but brine and rock salt get laid because apparently people are incapable of driving with ANY snow at all. If I am gonna have my truck get assaulted with that shit, at least let it come with some fun.

 

Tell her it's because she's getting old and doesn't exercise enough, then you get to have two arguments .

 

Found out that when there are small snow flakes or rain drops my orefilter likes to suck them up.... been driving for a half hour and I will soon have to stop and empty it

 

Can't do that with these snorkels... starves engine of air

 

Im aware

 

Some body say jumps

 

False

 

Theoretically at high speeds that can create a negative pressure at the snorkel inlet and robbthe engine of air. I believe it is Airflow that specifically warns against doing this.

 

Also you'd have to drive thousands of miles for the precleaner to "fill". I've had mine for over 6 months in all kinds of precipitation and the most I've had was 1/4" maybe 1/2" of liquid in it. And even if it did fill it's designed to collect shit so it's not surprising that it's collecting shit

 

I didn't go all scientific but I I did do small testing using my ultraguage and the readings at the mass airflow sensor. Forward skewp,backward skewp, and pre cleaner were all within a few tenths of each other. Not exact numbers though because the reading is never a steady number it's constantly fluctuation.

 

Yeah @Blackout14 is apparently going to be r̶e̶p̶l̶a̶c̶i̶n̶g̶ jumping my truck.

 

You said you replace whatever you break with stronger parts. So you're welcome to break anything you want. I've always wanted a new frame

 

See sig. if he's unsuccessful I'll give it a whirl. Then he can r̶e̶p̶l̶a̶c̶e

 

Nice test, bit the data is not really definitive. And some many erroneous statements in the rest of the posts....wow.

A very simple way to determine if the backwards facing snorkel causes issues is to monitor O2 sensor readings at WOT at normal highway road speeds. Which I will do once I get my damn snorkel. Regardless I will probably run a pre-filter in winter.

 

I've had similar problem on plouw trucks that have air intake on passenger side clogging with ice and snow.Installed a piece of window screen across the intake.Works to a point,but you are not snow plowing so maybe it will work for you
