Picked up a empty quart paint can and lid, a couple of grommets, and a inline fuel filter for a lawnmower from Home Depot. Popped a hole into the side of the can, inserted grommet that fits snugly over front diff beather hose, and then drilled a hole in the lid for the second grommet and the infilter now used as a breather. Mounted can on driver side wheel well and slipped front diff breather hose about 1" into can. Now when I overfill the front diff and it decides to puke, now more gear oil everywhere. Total Cost: $8
Added two of these in the canopy, $15 total:

This was a ceramic bobble head that my son had pulled the head off years ago. I found it in a box and as I was getting ready to toss it, had the thought. I took my shift knob and cut it with a hacksaw then shaped the aluminum with my grinder so it would fit up inside the head. I little gorilla glue and so far it's been holding up well. You won't see one of these at autozone.

air from the cowl area
Wanted to try this for a while to see if I can get some cooler air into the intake. This is my first attempt so don't laugh too hard. It'll eventually be a snorkel.
Pulled the fender, cut some holes, and installed a 3' piece of dryer duct.
Made a semi sealed air box from a 6" ID piece of HVAC ducting.
So far I've had a minor increase in fuel millage (about 2mpg) and the throttle response seems a tad better when the truck is warmed up.
Total cost was about 15$.

With your new intake route did you do anything to divert the water that gets into your cowl (i.e. when it rains, or at the carwash) from going into your intake pipe? Just curious.
