6637 containment system
Is there a good way to create a containment around the 6637? After many years/miles alot of crud is accumulating all over the firewall/fender area where all my electronic controls are located. I have been too paranoid to spray it down with anything. Would that be OK to clean there.

There is. problem is I can't remember the post. Somebody built a downloadable template for a 6637 cold air setup. works wonderfully. I built mine with this pattern. one could even fab up a top lid if desired. do some searching. or someone with a better memory than mine will chime in. Barney

Mine's not as pretty as Jim's, but I quit once I had something that cut down on the drone that would happen at certain speeds on some roads. I got the idea from Brandon (bdrummons) & Chris (Rampage350), but got tired of waiting on them to get around to it (they got sidetracked ordering a different filter). Ron (ronspowerstroke) sent me some pictures and measurements of his AFEII cold air box, so I played around with it to make it fit the 6637. Marc (mudmaker) offered to help with the template work, so we put it into 8 1/2" x 11" pdf files so you can just print them off your computer, tape them together, and do this yourself.
Here's what mine looks like
Here's the link to Marc's post with the drawings https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...ml#post5937371
There's plenty of pictures in my gallery of the parts & pieces. I tried to design it so it could be made with a pair of tin snips, some pliers, and a few pop rivets to keep things simple.
As for cleaning the area, just take the filter off or put a plastic bag over it and clean the area up. You'll also want to cover the alternator, powersteering pump lid, & clutch reservoir lid if applicable.
