Installation Instructions

  1. Open the cargo box (optional: take the pin out of the attached strut
    beneath the cargo box to allow it to open further and give you more
    working room).

  2. Remove the driver’s seatback.

  3. Working from the left side of your rig, behind the driver’s seat, locate
    the factory installed clutch side air intake tube.

  4. Locate the double lines on that tube and cut the tube 3.5” above those double lines.

  5. On the right side of the same tube, above the cut and to the right, locate the screw (tx20) that fastens the air tube to the cab. Remove that screw.

  6. At the top of the elbow on the same tube, locate the clamp. Loosen and remove the clamp entirely. This should allow you to remove a section of tube between that clamp and your cut.

  7. In the space left by removing that piece of tubing, attach the provided rubber
    coupler to the lower opening (the clutch cover intake).

  8. Slide the larger stainless steel adjustable hose clamp over the coupler and
    tighten it around the base to secure it to that piece of tube. (see photo)

  9. Slide the smaller stainless steel silver hose clamp over the top of the coupler
    (the narrower end) but do not tighten yet.

  10. Insert the non-flared end of the Over the Top Intake elbow into the top of the
    coupler. Do not tighten the clamp yet.

  11. Slide the 1-7/8” vinyl coated clamp over the top of the flare in the smaller tube ensuring the holes face upward and rest against the cab.

  12. Insert the upper snorkel of the Over the Top Intake into the flared end of the elbow. Be sure the upper snorkel aligns with the outside of the cab.

  13. Once the upper snorkel is straight, mark the back of the cab where the holes of the vinyl clamp around the flare align.

  14. Remove the upper snorkel and drill a 3/8” hole at the marked location. (see
    corner option if you prefer not to drill)

  15. Place the 1.5” hex bolt from the inside of the cab behind the driver’s seat to the
    back of the cab through the hole you drilled. Using the rubber spacer/vibration
    dampener, bolt, washer, and hex nut as shown, attach the vinyl-coated clamp to
    the cab.

  16. Remove the top T40 bolt from the upper door hinge bracket.

  18. Slide the remaining vinyl-coated clamp around the top of the upper
    snorkel.

  19. Place the air cleaner cap on top of the upper snorkel and position the
    vinyl-coated clamp around both.

  20. Tighten all hose clamps and support clamps securely.

  21. Slowly tilt the cargo box and mark where the plastic skirting will need to
    be notched so it doesn’t interfere with the Intake.

  22. Notch the skirting.

  23. Close the cargo box and replace the driver’s seat back.
