Intake Suggestions?
I am planning on putting an intake unit on my truck shortly following my exhaust, anyone have any suggestions on which unit i should get, and why?

I've had K & N's on several GAS trucks and cars, and they were okay, but I know they are less restrictive and without meaning to start another fight, I just don't want to take a chance with my PSD, that I plan on keeping until the fenders fall off. With the gassers, I never expect to keep them much past 75,000 or 100,000 miles, so the intake of a little dirt didn't worry me too much.

I wouldnt worry about the water, unless driving in water as high as the intake. there are companys that sell water injection kits for these truck that lower EGT's and add 50 to 90 HP they flow something like 7 gallons an hour, if I remember right. If you dont believe me just go to dieselperformancespecilistinc.com and talk to Ken Ingelsman. It's suppost to be safer than propane. Bugs might be a problem,but you can always put some screen material in front of the intake. I think the biggest problem could be ice and snow.

he just left out the "s" on the end... www.dieselperformancespecialistsinc.com
thanks for the link, strokin, i think the water injection is a good idea. 300 degree drop in EGT would allow for significantly more fueling.

I put a Mac on mine it sounds like a Big Rig turbo Gives 26more rear wheel horse gained almost 2mpg and it looks good, easy install. I recently seen a sleeve like a sock that dirt track racers use on open element air filters that doubles filtration and is easy to clean you just wipe it off no need to clean filter charger at least not for a long time.
