 Subject: stock air intake question
IP: Logged
Message:
I removed the stock air box on my 02 QC 4x4 this past weekend in order to get my fat hands in to replace the PCV valve. I noticed that the tube that runs from the box that houses the filter to the sidewall was a couple inches from the hole in the sidewall.
Is this normal? It looks like it's flared to hook inside the hole in the sidewall to suck in cooler air and not get air from the engine bay.

Chalk it up to the overpaid labor that put your Dakota together.
That's the air inlet tube that gets cool intake air from the wheel well area.
It's Normal for that tube to be close to the hole. It doesn't go through the hole, if that's what you're wondering.

yes. It also looks like my transmission cooler is a little in the way and keeping it from being closer.

Transmission cooler lines are down out of the way, and the external cooler (if you have one) is in front of the radiator.
If you mean some aluminum piping/hoses that pass under the filter box, that's your a/c refrigerant lines.
You normally don't wanna mess with those.

it came this way from the factory...
my condensor is in front of the radiator. the transmission cooler is mounted on passenger side up front of the air box besides the radiator.
I bought it used, original window sticker was in the owners manual and lists transmission cooler as factory option.
