Factory air box with a kn .....but even after you remove the air box cover and filter ..you still hear it....looked up in there and that little metal air door is barely open...and if i open it with my finger a bit the truck stalls.....its loud and doesn't seem right....something with the mass air sensor ??

I'd bet good money the intake tube is split. Its a common problem on the 3.0. Check where all of the hose clamps connect the system together.
