Looking for Intake Hose for 99-03 Powerstroke...any suggestions?
Hello,
Hoping that someone can point me to a replacement air intake hose that is smooth inside.....as opposed the the factory hose on the 99-03 Powerstrokes. Been looking and just can't seem to find one yet. Anybody know of any or suggestions on where to look? Thanks much! Charlie |
go to a big truck shop or somewhere that sells 4inch piping and weld up your own tube.
|
call upTYMAR PErformance, he might have what u are lookin for
|
ebay. there has been a nicely bent 4in?? one with afe filter for $98. I have been eyeballing it myself:humm:
|
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I am contacting Tymar to see what they might have.
Tinman875...thanks I have our intake for the Ford and it's awesome but on my early 12/98 Powerstroke 99 model the hose is just a few inches too short. This was before a change in the airbox sometime early in 99. I want to see if I can find a smooth replacement rubber intake hose that can be adapted to our intakes that will replace the ribbed factory hoses...thinking that the smoother the air path the less turbulence generated.... Got to be something already out there.....at least hoping. |
intakehoses.com sells alot of stuff
|
Thanks....2500HeavyDuty
I appreciate that link very much. Might just be able to find something there. Awesome! Charlie |
Not going to make much of a differance, boundry air will be stangnet no matter what.
Very little out there to adapt to the 3" factory turbo inlet. Lots once you step up to a ATS housing or a 38r... I have two or three in the shop. |
When I did my 6637 mod, I used an exhaust pipe that I got from a local big rig shop. It worked fine, I just had to cut down the length a bit.
Here's the link to the pics I took of the mod and if I can help further, let me know. 6637 air intake mod pictures from trucks photos on webshots |
@CSIPSD thanks...sure you are right about this. I just am going to need a longer intake hose.
@ PeterAL Hey you are a pretty handy guy. Good Job. Thanks for sharing. I think I am barking up the wrong tree....and making a bigger issue out of this than I need to be. I am thinking that there are only a few of the early 1999 7.3L Powerstroke models from 12/98 to sometime early in 1999 that had the original style airbox that looks like mine here http://www.iceboxintakes.com/images/...FordAirBox.jpg as opposed to the other later model factory air boxes like this with the battery enclosed within the factory air box. http://www.iceboxintakes.com/images/...x/DSC07813.jpg I can modify our 1999-2003 Powerstroke Icebox cold air intake to work with my current hose but was trying to see if I could just find a different replacement hose for these few applications. http://www.iceboxintakes.com/images/...werstroke2.jpg But I guess the thing to do would be to just go to Ford and get the hose that fits the later 1999 factory air box because it fits just fine. Thanks for all your help...certainly if you have any other suggestions please let me know. I do appreciate it!! :hellox: Charlie |
Your air intake system is exactly the same as mine was. The old filter box came out quite easily, without disturbing the battery, and the installation of the 6637 filter was a breeze.
I got into the mod originally because the tabs on the original filter box broke off, thereby not providing a good air seal around the lid. Since I've had the 6637 I've had no problems. Now, I haven't done extensive MPG or HP testing, so I dunno if it helps those issues or not, but it seems to work well. I just need to remember to clean and replace the cloth cover more often :) Let me know of I can help. |
Icebox guy... Dont know your name... Charlie...
Get that intake system OUT of your truck... There was a recall on those years ago due to leaking seals. You can built one as I have seen or get ANYTHING but that factory box out of there... I would sugest no tube from the CCV intake to the filter, this is how I have mine set up with my modified AFE to my H2e turbo... I'll see if I can dig up a pic, if not I will take one tonight. |
CSIPSD,
Guess I have been lucky in that mine has served me well. Have had a flat cleanable foam Amsoil filter it in for a long long time but getting it out of there is exactly what I am working on doing!!:tu: and I just about have it figured out. Thanks Charlie |
I don't want to hijack this thread, but I have a similar problem with my '99 intake hose.
