Air filter question

[JustinH]

Hey guys looking at getting a 14 in drop base for my ram. 2002 ram 1500 quad cab with the 5.9 magnum. Has anyone ran one of these and will it clear the hood? Plan on getting from Hugh's here is the link

Any advice would be great.

Yep they fit fine

Thanks I'll post after install

 

[JustinH]

Dapepper9 what kind of intake are you running?

 

[dapepper9]

I have an Extreme Velocity air hat and a random tube and spectre filter. The airhat is for my spare engine im building and ive been playing with some fitment stuff before i swap the engines

Yes they work...

With a drop base you'll need a spacer.

And here's the directions

Thanks Okiespaniel thanks man that ththre was a great help. Didn't know about the spacer. Plan on running a old school breather filter instead of running a hose. Unless there is some adverse effect from doing it. Do you know?

 

[dapepper9]

Just don't run 7500-10k oil changes if both valve covers are going to be breathers and you'll be fine. I run open element push in on one and pcv valve on the other. If both are breathers it's just not as efficient at removing blowby as a pcv valve is and the oil gets dirty

 

[JustinH]

I'll have to look I only remember one valve cover having a hose.

 

[Okiespaniel]

No adverse effects to running a breather but I would keep the PCV valve, and yes, it has to be on the opposite valve cover

Hey guys at the end of getting parts for the install. Looks like I'll be making the s bolt can't find one. Two questions. On the push in breather filter. What size do I need? On the s bolt what size of threads do I need? And factory bolt I can order one for? BTW can find a aluminum spacer so may have to run plastic. But it will be a temp thing anyways as I plan on going sc down the road.

PN #4215 by Spectre. Advance, AutoZone and Oreillys all carry it

 

[JustinH]

My local AutoZone can't order that anymore. I'll check o'reillys and see if I can find advance. What about the push filter does it need an adaptor? Or what diameter do I get? As always thanks for the help. Looking forward to getting it on.

So I did a Jimmy rig lol made the S bolt and only ran a half inch spacer. Removed the plate on top of my TB to gain some extra clearance. And just grabbed a push in Spectra filter and just pushed onto the elbow. Might get a catch can later though more for looks. Only ran the spacer cause of clearance issues with cable brackets. Anyways here are some pics if completed install. Next is exhaust.
