Looking at buying a cold air intake to help with fuel usage and to help run better.Does anyone know any company thats not trying to make you sell a limb for one?I'm looking at a S&B for 231.00 But would love not to spend that much,thanks for any help

Don't buy anything using oiled filter media for a diesel.

The air flow will suck the oil out of the filter, rendering its actual filtering capability useless.

The stock airbox and filter system on the 2500/3500 trucks is more than capable of supporting 400 - 450 hp, and in reality, having tested several different cold air systems, I didn't notice any difference in mileage, or better running overall.

I have seen several engines 'dusted' from the use of aftermarket air intakes, mostly due to bad filter media, or bad connections. A little better running is more than offset by an engine replacement.

Good Luck
