WW upgrade (Pictures

I thought you guys might enjoy seeing a comparison of my WWs so here you go and it has been replaced, just waiting on the rest of my parts to start rebuilding and putting things back in my baby.

Were you running a stock air filter housing for a long time or something?
That old one is kind of chewed up there.

Yep, when I bought the truck it still had the stock air filter housing and the mileage on the truck was 184K and yes it is kind of chewed up, slightly bent fins, small chips missing, stuff like that.

Good example of what can happen with the stock intake filter housing. Good job with the pics.

I'm going to enjoy having a new WW, a pedestal that no longer leaks, no more up pipe leaks and a 4" exhaust!
That is what my current project consists of.

I thought the Early 99s were the only ones that came factory with the WW?

I could be wrong but Im prety sure it's the 99 and below. The old man has a 99 and it sure sounds like it has one and he was the only owner. Im sure someone else will chime in and give the definate.

Is it an Early or a late 99?
Anything before 3/99 is early and anything after 4/99 is late

If you are asking if you have a WW, you do not unless somebody has installed one in the past.
