    OK it is in the same fender but it ain't close still looks like great place to store dirt next to the radiator. Some designer had a great ideal and he ain't talking.

    At least, when you clog your intake. You can put these bad boys on. Your car will think its getting air with these.

    You should block the vents in fender liner, then install a sport hood and make the scoop fully functional. That will take care of it all.... :crapstorm:

    When will you learn? V6 cant tow as much as the 2.7, because there is too much weight on the earth. THe 2.7 is lighter, so it can handle more towing weight. best way to increase towing capacity on the V6, is to remove 2 spark plugs, and throw all the the interior out of the cab. THEN you should be able to tow about 20K Canadian DHK pounds.

    With those type of improvements I would be more willing to bet 30,000lbs.
