Default ram air hood info



this is the hood i am getting on my truck since the wreck.. what i am wondering about is this.... the vents actually allow air flow into the engine compartment.. so will this lower the operating temp and cause some good effects or bad effects......

cooler under hood can only be good. Little longer to warm up in the winter, but if thermostat is working correctly should not be a problem.

I would love to have that hood. Paint it black or hell better yet just send it to me I'll paint it and you can have my stocker.

the stock hood retails for 720 because it is made out of aluminum... this hood went for 429 so that allowed me to upgrde grill and bumper and the round headlights... i am starting to like insurance companies now...lol

I hear ya' Kal on the kid at Christmas. Whenever I order something and it's due on a specific day I sit and wait at the front window of the house waiting for the UPS truck. It sucks hearing trucks go by and it not being the UPS truck.
