K&N cold air intakes

Hey I am wanting to put a K&N air-intake on my truck. I was watching videos on how to install one and I noticed that I had something that the trucks in the videos didn't have, and I don't know what it is

 

Air injection pump. Started in 2012 on the 1grfe v6

 

Ok so would I be able to install a k&n intake without having to move it or would I have to look at other intakes

 

Cant find install with it right niw and dinner just got thrown at me, i gotta run.

Someone will chime in

 

Lots of 2012+ intakes have a relocating bracket

 

Ok thanks man that helped so basically it reduces emissions

 

I had a 77-9037KP on my 2012 4.0, after relocating the air pump it sucked in moisture from a heavy rain (a lot of road spray being kicked up) and killed my switching valves. $1400 to fix, thank goodness for a secondary warranty.

 

Well, theres a chime for ya

 

Where'd the water and stuff leak in from, and is there anything to prevent it from leaks

 

Welcome... and yes

I THINK theres a few articles on removing it or modifying it.
I dont have much experience with it due to having an 06

 

Oh ok that makes sense

Here's another chime. Do a search on the topic. Maybe use a term like 'cold air intake'

Depending on what your expectations are from this mod, you may chose to keep your money.

 

Thanks

 

The K&N kit moves the air pump to the front of the engine, and also turns it backwards. Not sure if a UNI-filter would help keep water out or not.
