JLT Ram Air Intake Install1. Removing the stock intake. I started with the stock air box. Remove the bolt attaching it to the fender lip and save it for reuse on the heat shield.
2. Yank the air silencer out of the fender well.
3. a. Then loosened all of the hose clamps (MAF, TB locations).
b. Unplug the MAF connection and the IAT Sensor if equipped (96-01 may have it).
c. Unplug the PCV and IAC hoses.
4. Remove the unit in one piece for disassembly outside of the car. ( If you have an IAT Sensor, remove it from the stock ductwork and set aside for reinstallation.)
5. After disconnecting the harness, just twist and pull the IAT Sensor to remove it from the stock ductwork.
IAT:
6. Unbolt the MAF from the filter housing and set the four bolts aside since replacements are included in the kit.
7. Using the provided bolts, bolt the MAF to the aluminum filter adapter.
8. Use some WD-40 on the MAF reducer to aid in getting it on. The JLT directions say to clamp the filter on first but don't.
9. Slide filter onto filter adapter attached to MAF and tighten clamp. Don't get bashful with the clamp. Slide the clamp right up to the adapter so that when you tighten it, it doesn't slide off of the adapter.
10. If you have an IAT sensor, use a 3/4in spade drill bit to create a hole for the supplied IAT Sensor grommet that is included(you can drill it on the backside to hide the sensor). 3/4in may look a little small but the grommet fits perfectly. Make sure it is far enough from the end of the tube but not too far so that the plug can be reattached without freeing up more length of wire.
11. Slide tube into large end of MAF reducer, which should already be on the MAF. It doesn't slide on easy but it is far easier to get on than the MAF side. A little WD-40 and some elbow grease get it right on. Make sure you slide it on all the way as the reducer will gobble up over 1-1/2in of tube. Tighten clamp
12. a. Install the piece of 5/8 tubing (included) to the PCV connection.
b. Shove the filter end of the assembly up behind the headlight and lower the TB end of the assembly down to meet the TB.
c. I installed a piece of Velcro to the shock tower where the tube may rub. I wasn't concerned about the paint as much as I was trying to reduce any potential noises from rubbing.
d. Connect the IAT Sensor if equipped.
e. Connect the MAF connector.
f. Connect the IAC and PCV tubes.
g. Slide TB coupler over TB and tighten clamp.
13. Install the heat shield using the stock bolt removed in the first step.
