Grid heaters and intake horn? Gaskets?

[Begle1]

1. How do the heaters come off the bottom of the intake horn? I guess they just pop off and I need a bigger hammer after 19 years?

2. Anybody know the part number for the intake horn gaskets?

I don't have a cummins number. The Dodge number is 05086721AB.

You shouldn't need a BFH to get it apart. I only taped my air horn with my hand to remove it.

Or for the performance minded guy, or whatever, you might consider the steel or maybe it's aluminum core reuseable grid and intake gaskets from Haisley Machine. They're made by Flat Out Gaskets. There's two grades, all aluminum and then cored. I run the cored. They say they're for when you start running big boost and push out the stock gasket(s). I like them mostly because they are reuseable.

Thanks for the number Philip.

Somebody should put that number on one of the stickies on DTR.

How much are those fancy custom ones, Bill?

$12 for the grid, $25 for the intake plate. They're on this page: http://www.haisleymachine.com/PERFORMAN ... ODUCTS.htm

i just traced out the grid on sum gasket paper, which was like 3 bucks for a 3ft roll of it, and cut them out my self, for the 4-holes in it i used a 3/8s brass bellow from an airline, and smacked it with a hammer, cutts out a perfect hole, and ther dirt cheap, so theres a real budget way to take care of your intake gaskets
