I try taking the stock air box from my monty and I noticed a silver/metal box with wires connected to it. Do you know what this is and where should I place it if I get rid of the stock air box?

Do you know by any chance what the part number is for the one that has the tray? Or do they all come with a tray? I want to buy a cold air intake that would look good and makes a good sound too. I heard that the K&N is very good but never try it.
Thanks.
Thanks.

no i dont wish i still had it.
but you can find them eaily enough . just look for the blazer computer tray. want to say it was for the 99-03 versions.
they go on the pax fender of the truck and mount with like three screws. you will end up having to redrill the holes for mounting it anyway due to where it will be mounted.

I've had my K&N intake for almost a year now. I didn't like the open top, so I fab'd a clearlexan cover for it. Actually it's my third, and there will soon be a fourth and maybe fifth version, the last being with graphics. The piece on there now was a free piece of scratched scrap big enough for 2 pieces. Seems to work fine.
Driving in the winter was an issue to me, but so far no problems from moisture and the PCM, which is now open. I drive an hour each way to work, andI have put 32,000 miles on this car with this K&N cold air intake. It immediately increased my milage by 2.0 mpg. I had it 2 weeks before adding the K&N. 22.5 before, and 24.5 after. On premium. After adding the electronics, I'n now averaging about 23.8-24.2 mpg.
The jist is, I highly recommend the K&N system, but you got to cover it, or any other open intake for that matter. Hot air is an issue, at least for me.

Problem with the plexiglass is it is so brittle. You touch it wrong and it breaks. Lexan costs twice as much, but it is "bullet-proof".

Also i would not call it bullet proof but yes it tends to bend and asorbe that would crack or destry plexi.
Also to make plexi stronger for you use a thicker peice for it but remember it dont bend at all with out damage. also be carefule when driling on either as it could crack both. jus tmake sure you ahve a good sharp bit and throw a peice tape over it to help stop if from chipping or cracking while drilling.

RE: Which Cold Air Intake is Best?
OK guys... I went and bought the CAI, K&N brand and installed it myself last night. The job took me about 3 hours. I could have done it in a shorter time period, but I decided to clean the area where the old filter used to be. I know... what can I say... I ama clean-kinda-guy... I even wear gloves to work on this!
The car has definitely improved in sound and performance. The only down side that I can see is that the filter is exposed and it will suck hot air from the engine. I would like to put a piece of plexiglass on it to prevent the hot air from the engine, but after readin some of the commets... maybe I just leave it the way it is. As soon as I can figure out how to put pictures here, I will post some before and after.
By the way... next in the works is a set of MagnaFlow. I'll let you know how it goes.
