Hi everyone. I've been lurking for a while. I used to be a car guy until I purchased a used 2020 1500 warlock last year. I went to the dealership and purchased an engine air filter for my 5.7. The original was orange but the replacement they gave me was black. The part number matches what it says it should be online. The orange original, has a little groove along the inside and the new one does not.
Anyway, I cannot get the air box to latch closed again. With the original, no problem. I've tried rotating the filter incase the corners were different and no luck.
I've used gloves and applied a lot of force and not even close. By a lot of force, I mean I can bench press 2.5x my body weight, so I leveraged some of that force. It seems like the problem is the 2 latches closest to the passenger fender. I've spent a couple hours looking around and haven't had any luck. Anyone else know what's going on here? Thanks
