Not since my last oil change.Looks clean in there, you're probably okay. Have any work done at the dealership recently?
Is that where they pour in the oil? I always wonderedNot since my last oil change.
Must be where hyundai tells their techs to pour it in with all those oil issues their engines are havingIs that where they pour in the oil? I always wondered
Doubt you'll have any problems. Like your dog pictures!Went to check my engine air filter to see if it needed to be changed. The duct popped right off the throttle body. The clamp wasn’t even tight either. Not sure how long it’s been that way. Hopefully it wasn’t sucking air in from there. Anyone else had this happen?

Why would it have a lean condition? Or a vacuum leak?If your truck wasn't throwing a code you're fine. If it was sucking air from there you'd have a lean condition and will have a code for a vacuum leak.

I had the same thing happen to me on my srt-4. I hit a new pavement bump that bent the front passenger side corner of the frame just enough that the outlet pipe of the intercooler eventually got a hole worn in it. I did everything from oil changes, trans and coolant flushes, and a timing belt without noticing. It wasn’t until I upgraded the turbo, intercooler, and piping did I notice the frame looked like it was slightly inside the hose. I pulled the inner fenderwell and noticed the small crease on the frame.I would think unmetered air getting past the air filter and sensor. Though I had a rather large strawberry sized hole on my E46 air tube right before the throttle body and it didn't throw a code. My mechanic was really surprised it didn't throw a code.
Maybe if these trucks had MAF sensors to worry about, but Dodge uses speed density system with MAP and TPS. Unless air was getting in AFTER the throttle body, no vaccum leak, and no "unmetered" air. Just unfiltered air.I would think unmetered air getting past the air filter and sensor.

I guess point is (besides my liking to babble) that I went almost 4 years with that hose touching. Never noticed a power loss.

You are correct, for some reason I thought the temperature sensor on the intake was a MAF. Don't mind me, I did not stay at a holiday inn express last night.Maybe if these trucks had MAF sensors to worry about, but Dodge uses speed density system with MAP and TPS.

I thought all modern engines that have direct injection used a maf sensor. Guess a k&n filter wouldnt be so bad after all. Learn something new everyday.Maybe if these trucks had MAF sensors to worry about, but Dodge uses speed density system with MAP and TPS.
