this maybe old news to everyone but ive been bombing around in the snow the last few days enjoying myself. but today the truck was getting slugish on my offroad short cut to work. shes an old war horse so i was kinda scared something serious was wrong and stopped on the road side as i got off the trail. anyhow i checked the air filter first wondering if the snow was getting in there and sure enough it was packed with ice and snow. popping the access panel off and scooping a bit of snow out brought it right back to life. it felt good to get underway and pass the chevy avalanche that saw me with my hood open in the middle of nowhere and didnt bother to even slow down to look

Edit: im an idiot lol. the only reason it got in the airbox is because i had my wheel well liners out. i thought the intake was behind some other platic shroud but if you look up in the wheel well on a 96 it has a plastic pipe that brings the intake directly over the tire.
