Air box on a 4.0

[YBNORMAL5150]

Not sure if this is the place to ask,but here go's had a tech bust the air box/cleaner on my Ranger with a 4.0. The question is can i put a clean air intake on and if so what of the sensors with the other oem one? Real new to the truck thing sorry if this is a dumb ? Thanks for any help !!!!!

Are you saying Cold air intake? instead of clean air intake?

If so the factory air box and intake is a Cold air intake. Replace it with a stock air box and it will remain a cold air intake.

It just not pretty or sound kewl like the K&N intakes.

+1 on the stock unit.

We have some dyno numbers floating around somewhere in the GD forum that show just a K&N intake system actually costs you power. Go stock, its better. Probably cheaper too if you go to the JY.

as i recall it cost power down low, but had minor or zero gains up high?

 

[adsm08]

I don't remember the exact numbers, but yeah, it killed the bottom end, and at best didn't gain anything at the top.

To answer your actual question, Yes you can put a cold air intake on it. The sensors and all that will be just fine. Most aftermarket intakes are plumbed to recieve the proper sensors. Is it beneficial? Probably not. Find a replacement at the junkyard.
