And as far as needing the 45 elbow for an E-99, a lot of E-99's have been updated with L-99 airboxes, so the install just requires a short piece of 4" tubing to adapt the filter to the intake hose. It would also be worthwhile to get another short piece of tubing and do the CCV mod at the same time- this is how I'm going to tackle mine as soon as my filters show up from FF and my cover from Pete gets here.

I would love to know where these NAPA stores are at that have the 46673 for $28.00. I called 4 around where I live and they all said the same thing $49.00. I'll buy 2 from FF and 2 covers from Pete and be set. I can also get them through my John Deere dealership.I am a parts counterman there from Fleetguard but they are $38.00 each So FF is the way to go as far as I can tell. This will be my first mod on the truck since buying it 2 years ago and learning a lot from you guys on this site. Thanks, Tom

Hey Rick, I see you're using your OEM hose clamp also. I just changed mine at 36 degree's outside and had a hell of a time getting it back on. I have no hair dryer anymore, but after about a half an hour of a lot of bad language and a little blood I got it back together. Moral, do not change your 6637 in colder weather.

Mark, if you notice I have a 3" pvc dwv collar between the filter and the hose. The collar fits inside the filter and inside the hose. Not too tight, just right.
It don't get that cold down here. It's over 70* today and will be getting warmer.

Now I see, should have looked closer. That has to be quite a bit easier but I was determined to get the thing into the original intake and with the help of Barry, actually he did most of it and I just drank beer he got it done. But since the first install each time I have put a new one in it has slid right in until today when it was colder. I lived in Baton Rouge for 5 years and I remember some real cold days there too.

I need the stock ruber tube like in white Buffulo's picture above. What is it called and any good ideas on where to get it?

Thanks. It fits tight but it fits. I close the hood slowly because it looks like you might crush it. The hood does touch it and brings the question: How much air is choked off from the hood, the battery and the tray it sits on?
The hard part is sealing the filter to the tube. Checked lots of rubber fitting at the hardware store with no luck. I finally used the shiny metal tape used by HVAC guys.
Double wraped it and it seals tight but I would rather find a more flexible rubber fitting.
After the first tank mileage went down. What do you guys think?

On a 2000 all you should need is a warm day, or a good heat gun and the stock tube will fit like a glove. I would hate to open my hood and have someone see something as bogus as duct tape sealing my air filter. I have also found that the dirty filters I've replaced have been equally dirty all around surface of the filter. So that tells me it is sucking in fresh air pretty equally throughout the filter area.
