Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Where to purchase bottom part air filter housing??

[rmonis]

Well this morning I was replacing the air filter and cracked the bottom plastic air filter housing. It's all stock. I called the Dodge dealership and they were going to charge $119 for a replacement! Highway robbery! Anybody know where I can get one cheaper? I tried Geno's Garage but they didn't carry it.



Another question is when I do replace the bottom housing, will I have to also take of the plastic fender skirt in the fender well?



Thanks all in advance.

I run the NAPA 6637, smaller of the BHAFs. Drilled and installed the filter minder in the far end. Fits nicely on the fender. I got the Outwears and Larry-B turbo heat shield. Come for a little drive up to La Conner and bring a NAPA 6637 filter, I will cut you a piece of SS 4" pipe to go inside the filter neck and give you a piece of marine mat to go under the filter.



I can also take you for a ride in a truck with a Full DTT transmission, mild injectors and Comp in EZ mode. "NO MAYBE YOU SHOULD NOT DO THAT!" SNOKING

I've got 74K on it but have the 100K/5 year warranty. He said that it wasn't covered. I say BS. What did you say to the dealer?

Hey SnoKing I might just take you up on that! For now money is tight but I'd like to go to the BHAF sometime after I recover from the holidays. Let's keep in touch.



Thanks!
