95 Hardbody Intake

Rylinkus · Mar 20th, 2005, 03:25 PM

I recently purchased a 95 Hardbody with the 3.0L V6. It's supposed to be a winter vehichle/ daily driver so I can buy something more ridiculous for summer. Anyway, the intake on the truck is all messed up. The TB is cracked, the MAF is cracked, the airbox is cracked, and the hose between the MAF and TB seems to have clear silicon patching many holes in it. This is odd since nothing else under the hood is amiss aside from a broken A/C compressor. Regardless I know it all should be replaced and tore it apart today just to take a quick look at the damage. After looking it over I was amazed at how restrictive the intake system is and was wondering if there are TBs and MAFs from other vehichles that have been swapped onto this engine with sucess.

No, it's just that there aren't any parts you can swap on. De nadda, sorry. How the hell did your TB and MAF get cracked? Got pics? Are you sure about that?

I really don't know how they got cracked. I also don't know whats wrong with the passenger side door so that it only opens sometimes from the inside. I can only takewild guesses at what the truck's been through before I got ahold of it. But they are indeed cracked. I'd almost guess the entire intake system before the IM was swapped out since nothing else under the hood looks even vaguely amiss. And this one came from, well hwo the hell knows? Ehhh, guess I'll just hit up the ole junkyard just like I always do.
