What does the large plastic piece on the top of the Engine that says 6.6 Turbo Diesel do? :o

briano 01-10-2005, 11:01 AM just a resonator to baffle the sound of incoming forced air and all.. takes up space in my opinion.. lol daurand 01-10-2005, 11:09 AM My guess was right! Especially the part about taking up space :) Loki_nine 01-10-2005, 01:54 PM Be thankful for small favors. There would be a whole lot more space taken up if they would have put the air filter up there directly. lakingslayer 01-10-2005, 03:13 PM Be thankful for small favors.

I think they should have put the air filter up there and put a nice hood scoop on the truck. :ro) briano 01-10-2005, 03:17 PM I think they should have put the air filter up there and put a nice hood scoop on the truck. :ro) knowing GM they would have put a hood scoop, but made it NON functional.. LOL I hate that dmax lover 01-10-2005, 03:32 PM It provides a volume of air - at least in motorcycles, an additional volume of air in this location in the intake tract provides improved low end throttle response. But, it could be to provide a resonance chamber - baffling noise that can be heard through the intake. - jeff Enigma 01-10-2005, 04:46 PM I think they should have put the air filter up there and put a nice hood scoop on the truck. :ro)Can you imagine a functional hood scoop? The truck would have to come with a warning label... Caution: Keep small animals, children, and loose fitting clothing away from this truck while running as they may be inadvertently drawn into the intake track of your vehicle. ):h An additional operator warning label might also be necessary, Caution: While in operation be aware of small birds, and debris near your vehicle as they may have a tendency to be sucked into the hood intake of your truck while in operation. :eek: Ahh… but wouldn’t that warning label be grand? :ro) Minn-Kota 01-10-2005, 10:16 PM I was thinking someone should come up with a cowl induction type flapper run by boost. It would be pretty funny on a truck...like the old Chevelles had. earthcrusher 01-11-2005, 02:12 AM Can you imagine a functional hood scoop? The truck would have to come with a warning label...
