Problems with ebay CAI - 5/11/2008 2:06:14 PM    raminator08   Posts: 78 Joined: 3/20/2008 Status: offline i just installed the full cold air intake for my 08 from ebay, you know the $80 one. I followed texbigb instructions and everything was except that i had to cut a new hole for the air sensor on the other side of the throttle body and i need to know whats the best way to patch up the original hole. Im thinking duct tape but it might get loose and sucked since the pipe gets pretty hot.  Also i was driving today and when i came home, i realized my KN air filter had come off. Has anyone else had that problem and how do i fix it??? Post #: 1

I tightened the clamp pretty good and it still fell off. (in reply to derricksmash) Post #: 5

Dont use to much JB weld so it not to messy when the stuff still wet try to wipe the extra stuff that ozose out off before it gets hard. _____________________________ 06 Ram 1500 Q-Cab 4X2 3.7, Manual 6 Speed Ram Air intake Duct K&N drop In filter, Dash Cover Rino spray in bed liner, Hellwig rear Anti Sway Bar AMSOIL in every thing NGK Iridium Plugs (in reply to raminator08) Post #: 6
