I would like to put a cold air intake on my truck. I understand that the power gains are small but I would just like knowing my engine is getting cool air. I also understand that most of these "cold air" intakes are just a cone that sucks hot air. I am looking for a true cold air intake for a speed density 5.0, boxed and all. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on how to build one, it'd be appreciated.

Yup. Follow the hose from the throttle body to the air box (where the filter is). Notice the air entry location into the airbox.

I'll send you a bill for 2% of the money I just saved you. I'm also giving 0.75% of that to dj for answering first. ha

even if theres a part thats broken or missing...try using the stock airbox and routing a duct from that box to the factory area.
