Does anyone know where the recalled hose is located? I took it in for the recall but I don't see anything new under the hood

 

Dealer told me its back by the firewall somewhere.

So is this a win for the 04's? Whee?!

 

i got mine done!

 

Taking mine in tomorrow actually to get this recall done as well as have them fix my passenger side window control while the truck is still under warranty.

 

You can only see the hose from underneath the truck, on the driver's side rear corner of the intake.

 

Quintin...

Does this hose connect to the intake? I ask because lots of folks have upgraded into some other flavor of CAI. Will this recall still snag those persons?

 

It's attached to the intake manifold itself, not to the intake tube/air duct/airbox. It's part of the hose assembly that feeds the brake booster.

 

Thanks! I did not see that hose I will look from the bottom I just wondered where it was.

 

I never rush them I dropped it off at 10am they called me around 3pm to let me know hat it was ready.

 

yeah it was really quick considering how busy they were i dropped it off at like 8am and was done by Noon.

 

i cant stand the thought of going to a dealership. especially the ones in central jersey. got 50k on the truck and would buy a new one but the dealers all suck
