will a K&N intake for a 1999-2004 work on the 2005? the part numer is 57-3021-1. I think there should be no problem because they didn't really change anything! What do yall think? thanks-Allan

 

anyone???

 

If the 2005 has efans, which I assume it does, the heat shield from the older k and n kit wont fit right. The larger radiatior is to blame. You will either have to replace the heat shroud or modify it to fit.

 

what the heat shield needs metal trimmed off to fit? or is it more complicated?

 

I personaly have not had to deal with the problem but I sold my old k and n to someone that had a 3/4 ton with the larger radiator. He said he couldnt make it fit. I have heard of a few guys around here making them fit on their trucks. Probably nothing more than a little bending and cutting.

 

I have a 2004 Airaid kit my 05 with E-fans and it fits good but the kit is made for a big fan shroud and not E-fans. So there is a Gap and kind of looks funny under the hood but like I said it fits well and performs well I didn't have to make any modifications to the kit.

 

It definitely won't fit a 34" radiator without modification, but it can be made to fit. Both tdrumm and I had to modify our K&N's to clear our 34" rads and 05 efans. You can either cut a notch in the K&N heat shield, or do some cutting and bending without removing any of the heat shield. I unfortunately don't have any pics of mine before I sold it and bought the Volant which clears with no issues.
