I have a 2000 dodge diesel, and I want to install a BHAF air filter. But I don't know what parts I need!

 

a BHAF from Napa or Fleetfilter. Take out the old airbox, hook the new filter up to the old air tube.

 

Do a search on here there is some dought as to how much good it dose.

The Napa part number is 2790 for the filter. When you get it, you need to find a piece of 4" pipe to insert into the end of the filter to stiffen up the joint so it can't collapse when you clamp the intake hose onto it. I used a short piece of 4" exhaust pipe left over from my exhaust.

Then you just pull out the stock airbox and lay the BHAF in it's place. Also not a bad idea to buy or fab up some kind of heat shield to deflect at least some of the heat from the turbo so you're not running off of the hot air.

I can get pics of my shield if you're interested.

 

There's too much chance of the filter coming off if you don't use a piece of 4" pipe for a coupler. Do it right.

 

Thanks for the info!!

I planned on making a heat shield, seen one on e-bay, but I know I can make one cheeper than $60!

What about a mount, does the filter need to be attached to anything to keep it from moving around?

 

When I had one, I just made a little wooden cradle for it and uses a bungee cord to hold it down..

 

you will need some grease on the filter cause the intake tube fits really tight over the filter. they changed the size of the filter also.

 

I just put in my bhaf. It was easy to do and made my throttle respond a lot better over the stock air box

 

The BHAF will lay on top of a hard A/C line without a heat shield or other support. I cut a piece of ¼" plywood that mounted on 2 of the airbox studs. I clamped the filter to the plywood.

 

Be carefull of the bolt on the top of the fender well. I didn't put anything to cover them and protect the filter and as a result i got a nice hole in my first one.

 

I also used a piece of plywood and put my heat shield under it. I countersunk the plywood so the nuts wouldn't stick up and put a hole in the filter and the filter just sits on top of the plywood and the hood insulation puts slight pressure on it to hold it steady.

 

I used my old AFE heat sheild
