How do you install a snorkel on a Ford Ranger?

I want to go off-roading in my Ranger, but I want to avoid getting dirt in my air filter. How do you install a snorkel on a Ford Ranger to keep the air intake clean?

Dirt in your engine could cause a serious issue! Installing a snorkel should help, but make sure you have these supplies handy before you begin installation:
  • Snorkel kit (make sure it fits your vehicle)
  • Drill
  • Hole saw set
  • Screwdriver set
  • Socket set
  • Stepper bit
Once you have all your supplies, use these steps to install a snorkel on your
Ford Ranger
:
  1. Remove the inner fender lining to access the air intake. You’ll be putting the snorkel here.
  2. Undo all screws and remove the air intake from the fender. There should be six screws to remove.
  3. Align the snorkel to the body of the vehicle. You can use the snorkel kit’s template or place it where you’d like.
  4. Drill the holes where the snorkel will attach. If needed, you can use the stepper bit to make the holes bigger.
  5. Insert screws into the snorkel. Place the snorkel tube in the fender and run it to the air intake.
  6. Fasten the bolts attaching the snorkel to the car’s body and attach the snorkel to the air intake box.
  7. Bolt your airbox and fender back in place. Attach the air ram to the top of the snorkel tube.
After that, you’ve successfully attached a snorkel to your 1995 Ford Ranger!
