brand new to the diesel world need some help
 

I just bought a 98.5 Cummins. Its pretty much bone stock. The guy put a 8 or 10in lift and 37s on it. It has an Edge 5x5 chip and a straight pipe. I'm not really new to diesels, it just the first one I've owned. But my first question is what do y'all have as an intake? Mine just looks too small for its own good. It one of those Spectre's from AutoZone.

I would take the lift off. or at least drop it 6 inches. also get smaller tires. because that size lift with those big of tires is taking away most of your power and torque. having a diesel with a lift and tires like that may look cool but unless you have big horsepower and torque it renders your truck worthless. and for the intake just get an AFE cold air intake

BHAF for your air intake.

no need for fancy metal intake tubes. just a big ass air filter on the end of the tube :tu:

avoid oiled air filters like the plague.

awesome jig, i saw that a long time ago when i was looking for a 7.3, thing is massive, think ill invest into that, plenty of surface area for her to take deep breaths

that's the idea :tu: more surface area means the filter will last longer between changes. you can get an outterwear for them as well that you can take off and wash. basically an extra laywer of filtration to stop the bigger stuff from reaching the paper element...
