Dude. Ice is getting thin. Think before you post in a legit thread where a member is trying to contribute.

Guys please stay on track.

While we are on the zoodad mod conversation,what are you all doing with winter coming in snowy climates? I was thinking of blocking mine for winter since the idea of snow going in the intak doesn't sound nice. If we have a big dump like we did last year that air filter is gonna be full of snow. I was pushing snow with my bumper sometimes and that was with 6inches of lift and 36's.

I didn't do the mod because of this reason.. I plow snow and sometimes I'm pushing three feet.. I'm afraid snow will go through it..

I'm not doing it because the Zoodad Mod doesn't do anything, except raise the chances of sucking water in. Ram Induction doesn't work with Turbos, and there is a plenty large enough channel for air to get sucked into the intake mouth. That's 5 minutes I would have used to do something else.

I put a screen in front of mine ,,,, snow won't pass and rain has had no affect
but at the end of the day I still think this mod is a waste

but Dammit it is on the Bucket list ;-)

Mine has been done since 2004. Driven through rain snow, hail, dust, etc.... No issues.

Not a bit of issues. Driven thru torential rain, where I live now has a better chance of winning the lottery then snow but further up north we had 5+inches and never had a problem. I used a sawzall and cut out as much as possible. I also passed on the idea of a screen. Some people can get elaborate on this stuff. I say keep it simple stupid. The 5-10 minutes I did this mod in is about 100x more productive time than the 30 or so mins I spend in traffic a day.

I always ran a cold front on the 7,3 but the 6leaker warms up so fast I don't see the need. Good to know I'll be alright with the zoodad even though I'm not covering the front.

Sorry for the derail OP. I think the hole saw route looks a lil more thought out then a sawzall hack job.
