Wink No big deal . . .

All it is, is cutting a hole in front of your air intake so there is greater airflow to the air filter. Check out my gallery for pics of it . . .

Oh, geez. I've been doing that on my own super dutys since '02. me and a buddy figured it out and thought we were being original. I guess it's not that un-common. It's a great idea though... thanks for your help.

I've been wanting to do the zoodad mod on my '05 F-250 for quite a while. I haven't figured out how to remove my grill yet. I have tried before, but couldn't get all the clips at the bottom of the grill to release. Is there an easy way to remove the grill on 05-07 trucks that i'm overlooking? Thanks in advance!

Wink Try this . . .

No you got it. Some use a long handles flat blade screw driver to reach down into the clip to help release it from the holder. try that.

Hey Wayne,

You did the "6.0l in a cool older truck" mod, and that's way better than a zoodad...

Not hard...just gotta figure it out...get a really long flat blade screwdriver and push straight down on the top of the clips...once you see the clip youll wonder why you ever had the problem....i sure cussed after a whole wasted afternoon of trying to pull my truck around the shop when i decided to push down on them...if you have any questions pm me its real easy good luck!!!

Im not real impressed w/ the zoodad...if you live in a snowy climate cover the hole in the winter...also your warranty doesnt like it either...
