Thread: Cold Climate & PSM

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by mtman86

Should this snorkel be closed during winter driving conditions, where temps are often below 0 F? Not sure how this affects mileage w/ cold outside air. Also, what are your opinions on the PSM intake plenum vs. stock?

I have the PSM setup and up here in Alberta we can get lots of snow at times. I've never had any snow make it up into the filter box. And we can also see temps colder than -40* and I've had no issues with the added cold air.

I have a hole in the bottom of my airbox with a pipe on it and have sucked snow in the filter but the snow was drifting with high winds. No problem with cold temps. You have to work these trucks to make heat regardless.
