I personally have not put a CAI on any of my past cars or trucks, i figured some of you have so my question is will it affect and thing such as taking the truck down alot of dirt roads or going off road (when i say off road i mean just down trails, not like cliff hanger type stuff) also will i have to worry about it in the winter

thanks for your help

 

do you offroad in your truck? I would be hesitant to put one on anything that gets very wet.

 

i off road it just little stuff really i mean just out in the woods hunting and stuff like that not really mudd bogging

 

it will be fine in any conditions. i know.

 

I would say depends on the truck, many mazda owners complain about driveability problems after installing one with a K&N style filter. The oil gets on the MAF sensor wire and messes it up, clean the wire, get rid of the filter and its good to go.

As for just a cold air intake, most fuel injected cars will easilly handle a colder intake charge since the injectors force the fuel to atomize. On a carbureted engine though it may cause some major driveability problems.
