Is there an airbox resonator on our trucks?

[91sport_tn]

if so, where is it located?

Try looking in the airbox for a horn shaped plastic funnel piece... lol..

That's where mine was anyways on my 2nd gen... as for the 1st gen.. I always wondered about that plastic case type thing in your air intake that says "CAUTION FAN" on it...

 

[91sport_tn]

I will have to give it a look in the morning. I'll see what i can find.

 

[91sport_tn]

are you talking about this?

 

[storlied]

Yup.

 

[91sport_tn]

hmmm, not sure, I didn't notice it was detachable from the rest of the tube until just now.... I shall also take that apart.

 

[storlied]

Be careful, as our trucks are old and the plastic crap likes to break. o.o And like I said, I was just wonderin what was in it... I guess we'll find out soon. For all I know, you might not even have a silencer.

I might just ask my dad (who has worked in the parts area of for for nearly 30 years), I just learn better with hands on experience.

 

[storlied]

Same here.

I'm thinking, most likely the intake tube has "caution fan" on it because it covers the fan warning on the radiator shroud. I don't think the tube actually has a fan in it.

 

[storlied]

Of course it doesn't, you might be right about covering the other warning though. We're just curious as to if it has a silencer inside it.

 

[91sport_tn]

nah, no fan in there, but that part of the tube is detachable, so that may be where the noise is resonated.

 

[Blacksheep Josh]

there's no resonator in it. it's just a empty tube connected to the throttle body and maf...

you coudl replace it with a metal tube of same size and get same effect.

if you're "hearing" a noise from it, that's not good. it should be silent unless it's aftermarket.

ive wrapped my tube with insulation so I can't check

 

[91sport_tn]

no noise, i just wondered if there was one on there. i was going to take it off if there was.
