Hey Fellas,
I'm having a bit of an issue replacing the airbox on my 01 1500 Off Road. I pulled up the parts manual and found that for my 5.9 magnum, the part number for the airbox body(lower section) is 04897529aa, and the part number for the upper section(cover) is 05018218aa.
This issue is with where the hoses attach to the box.
As you can see, there is a nipple on the passenger side on my current airbox and no nipple on the driver rear side. On the driver's side, the pcv valve hose goes into the manifold, and not into the airbox on my truck.
Crankcase vent hose on passenger side
When looking at the parts manual, the airbox shown in the diagram has a nipple on the driver rear, as well as another hose attaching just above the throttle body.
In looking on ebay, and the limited places that sell airboxes for these old trucks, none seem to be like mine. I don't know where to find a replacement at this point, but this one is all cracked and the PO decided to just duct tape it which i don't like.
Any ideas boys?
