what can i do for a good intake/ cold air intake?
thanks

Find a later model 6.5 with the round filter it is refered to as a K47 filter housing it is a perfect fit and allows more air to get into the engine and probally alot less expensive than an after market one that is comparable.

I just got my first diesel as well. its a 96. This might sound dumb, but what does PM stand for? id rather not throw a crank.
