tons of diesel smoke, need intake
On my 92, I have 80hp injectors,and an aftermarket injector pump. Needless to say, it will pour the smoke a city block per gear. So, where can I find a cold air intake for my truck? I am currently looking for a turbo off a second generation dodge to help with the smoke problem also. I use this for my haul *** welding rig, so i need to get some mileage out of it also.

Just make one.
Check the sticky on how to make a BHAF.
Thats a rediculous price for that intake IMO. It will take less than $60 to make one with PVC pipe, some 4" boots and any ole filter
http://store.airflo.com/b105006.html <filter (throwin something out there)
+ PVC pipe < homedepot <$5.00
http://www.siliconeintakes.com/produ...5c53eeef129039 < 2 of those
Some sheet metal, bend it like so https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...sort=1&cat=522
It'll look like this except with PVC pipe instead of metal.

That ebay thing is not even a "Cold air" intake. The filter is right next to the alternator and still exposed wide open in the engine bay, Thats like sticking the filter right on the turbo. i mean its good to see someones trying 
A real cold air intake pulls cold air from inside the fender... $259?!?!
the ASA intake is the deal. http://www.pdrdiesel.com/products/AS...er-604-37.html

Until three years ago, I had been heavily involved with the local volunteer fire & rescue dept http://www.buiescreekfire.com/ (over 13 years active). I ended up focusing primarily on EMS/ALS.
Hold that thought . . . .
It's 3:17am on January 3rd. A cloudless night-time sky allowed the temperature to drop to a crisp 18*F. Everything has heavy a heavy layer of frost. . . .. and your pager goes off.
Some poor souls' heart is failing and they're struggling to pull the faintest of a breath through the crushing pain they feel in their chest.
You throw on your clothes and run out the door. Running past the front of the truck, you unplug the 6" AC power plug that hangs from the far left of the grill louvers.
> That power cord runs to that single-gang junction box and connects to three more cables:
- A fully automatic "Trickle" charger connected to the truck's battery.
- The engine block heater.
- A single-gang 120VAC receptacle mounted in the cab's rear wall. There a 1000/1500watt fan assisted ceramic heater is plugged in with the thermostat set to maintain a space temperature of about 40*F.
With pulling the plug, you jump in the truck and hit the ignition. The fully fresh battery warms the grid heaters fast and the starter brings the engine to life with no delay. The block is amply warm that getting an immediate move on is of no concern. The cab glass is just warm enough that there's no frost to interfere with your night-time vision.
And you haul taters!

David,
I figured it had something to do with AC power because I knew you wouldn't be using wire nuts on you trucks electrical system, maybe someone else but not you.
I thought you were going to say that you got to the call, ran around the truck in full gear and tripped over what was left of the cord hanging out of the front of the truck.
I would have thought you would have built an APU to keep your engine warm and the battery charged with a warm blast of air to keep the cab cozy.
So did you get there in time?
Jim

I like my ASA intake, but I am gonna sell it soon and build my own intake with an amsoil filter. And yeah it sounds like you need a bigger turbo to keep that smoke down, not so much an intake.
