That's not what I run. That is just the air filter itself stuck on there to keep the critters out of the turbo as the truck sat overnight.

The entire filter fits inside the later model K47 air filter box which routes air from inside the fender. Here is the actual setup in place. I modified a piece of ABS toilet plumbing pipe from Home Depot. It cost all of $3 to replace the unobtainable and uber-fragile, thin-walled ABS duct piece that is unique to the 6.5 diesels used from 96 to 99. All I had to do was heat it with a propane torch and squeeze it in a vise until it became an oval shape that matched to rubber bellows that connects to the turbo. The round end of the tube fit tightly inside the K47 filter element that you saw in my previous photos.
