- As I was making filming the post Linex rebuild of the Burban, I realized the Snorkel could use a more in depth video. So here's how I addressed the issues I had with my first install. I like it better now.
i just put one on my k5 blazer. it fits better on the square body vehicles. it looks good on your gmt400. i left the three inch intake on mine, it breathes way better than stock. i got a few mpg and it feels a little faster. a free tip for cutting perfect straight cuts on round tubing is to use a large hose clamp wrapped around the tube. it centers itself perfectly when you tighten it up.
Your channel is awesome! I recently bought a 97 Suburban and plan on many mods including a snokel. Looks like you may be in the SLC area, as am I.
Man! You did A LOT of work with both to get the snorkel you wanted! I guess I won't complain about the problems I had,. But you can share my pain when I do finally release those videos.
Yeah, “Make it nice, do it twice!”
I like your two-tone liner job. My '95 4WD K1500 was factory white, and I went with a white liner job and kept the fender flares black with black liner coating.
Thank you, I was going for that classic factory style two-tone. My truck was originally white, but Linex told me living in high altitude it would yellow over time.
@@rockymtnredneck4888 Same here. I was told about the possible yellowing after two years or so, so I had some additional layers of clear coat put on. I'm not at altitude, but the Texas heat is still a factor. I just need to get 3-4 more years out of the Suburban and I'll be good.
If they made a snorkel for out trucks I'd get one in a heartbeat. But I just don't know if I like the fitment of the 80 series one. It fits good enough, but I still don't like the gaps in the front of the snorkel.
Gaps close up well enough that you wouldn't notice unless you're looking for them. I have one I'll sell you real cheap. May or may not need some JB Weld work....depending on your preferences.
Any Idea how much air this can flow? I have a 5.9 cummings, and just wondering if it would flow enough air for that engine. It looks like you have a big block? how many horses does that enging make?
No Idea what air flow it makes. I do know it is way larger than the stock "sippy-straw" that went down behind the turn signals for intake. I have a 454 pushing about over 300 at the wheels last time it was dyno'ed. See my vids on the Procharger.
how much does the tube block your vision at the right A pillar when you go to look for cars as you turn?
Doesn't bother me. I heated and bent it into place to give the best visibility possible.
Did this help you with engine cooling?
No, this has little to do with cooling the engine. It does provide colder air to the intake, which helps power and efficiency. But as I said, it was mainly to keep the air filter cleaner from desert dust.
