Mr. Mopar if the rig U are talkning is the one I'm thinking of the fresh air intake from the air filter goes across to the right hamd side of the bonnet where there is a fresh air intake scoop this scoop covers a hole in the bonnet, so when the vehicle is moving the air is rammed into the pipe that carries it to the air filter, the only suggestion I can make if you don't understand this is, if you can get to a truck yard that sells Western Stars and check out this model or do a search on the net like I do it make take a little longer but somewhere along the way U'll find a photo of one.

Hopefully these will help you. it sounds like you have it right, the air intake is not "fresh air" like the petes, kw's etc with the external chrome air breathers.

Thanks guys, I went to the Western Star Truck dealer, and talk to one of the tech guys.

what he told me was this truck gets it's fresh air from a cowl vent between the wiper posts.

so i have to modify the air cleaner and make a cowl vent.
