bubbamobilin Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I want a set of snorkles to replace my bonnets on top of my external breathers on my Superliner. I put the cowcatcher bumper on back in the summer and I think the snorkles would really look go. It will give it the Austrailian look. And of course they need to be chrome or stainless. If anyone can help with some part numbers I would greatly appreciate it. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16736-snorkles/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the dimensions of any of these parts or the material they are made of but it might be a starting point for you anyway. These are numbers listed for a CMH chassis, probably with an MP8 engine. The snorkle/hood part number is 25098434 and the pipe that connects to it is 21544568. The mounting arrangement shown is likely quite different than on your truck, there are several elbows, etc. shown for the CMH. I'm sure that with a little bit of modifiction these would work.

The snorkel arrangement has a tube from the top of the breather with I think three support brackets running from the outer diameter of the breather towards the top of the tube. Then a plastic or chrome metal scoop mounted at the top. There is also a second style that has some funky looking tube with no brackets. I am sure you could go to hankstruckpictures.com and look up thousands of pictures of Aussie rigs. Plenty of Superliners on there too!Some pictures to get you started:Here is one with the odd bracket-less snorkel:And another (Notice the Renault planetary hub reduction axles): Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

Lmackattack Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Donaldson makes the black plastic ram tubes with the louvered sides. I know there was a company that made the shorty/fat mouth ram tube that was stainless or chrome. I think Rob had one on a R700 truck he bought. I think it was called a turbo ram or turbo 9000 ram???? Rob may be able to tell you who made it...Trent Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16736-snorkles/#findComment-68048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
