Stolen 23 Hood!!!!

[44Dan44]

You will not believe this so I'm adding pictures.

























I guess what I meant to say is I stole these pictures about a 23 hood from Facebook (Jake if you're here) as I figured some people will want to do this eventually here's a head start on the part numbers. I'm not all-in on the gigantic badges but I do like the center scoop.

Said he's putting on a 22, probably at $1500 all in after paint. His original hood was damaged and since insurance is paying he's replacing this route and making it a functional scoop.

Cutting out the back of it.

Was never into non-functional stuff like hood scoops. Nice design but that scoop should do something other than just sit there. YMMV.

So how is it functional by just cutting out the back? Just to let air flow thru and possibly remove heat from the engine compartment?

Functional hood scoop, IMO, would be to have ducting under the hood to direct that forced incoming cold air into the air filter box.

That's why the call it RAM AIR.

Cutting the scoop open does not necessarily make it functional.

 

[44Dan44]

Don't know what he has planned, just reporting what he posted.

A lot of people don't seem to understand that the RAM 2500 has a Cold Air Intake from the factory. And it will supply more air than the motor can use.

Go take a good look under the cover on top of the radiator. You will find the air intake is a "Scoop" that runs across the top of the radiator and gets cold air "Ramed" into it from the front grill opening. Then straight into the air box.

I look forward to looking under my hood.........some day.

Hopefully he does something with it, or all it’s going to be good for is making a f’n mess under his hood...

At least the rain will counteract the dust going through so he can have it “clean” sometimes lol

Good for him on customizing his truck, but man, I'm really struggling to like that new hood

Somebody just posted their silver 2020 on Facebook after replacing their hail damaged hood with the 2023 hood. It's sharp looking, can't wait to get one for my 19
