Introduction

If you're looking to improve the performance of your 2020 Ford F-150 truck 3.5L, this guide will show you how to replace and upgrade the cold air intake with a Roush cold air intake.

This step-by-step tutorial will give you the necessary instructions needed to fix this in no time.

Keep in mind that in step 5, the two 8 mm bolts cannot be removed, as they weld the screw to the fittings.

Before beginning this repair, ensure your truck is powered off and in park to prioritize safety for both you and your vehicle. Additionally, disconnect the engine battery before performing any work under the hood.

    • Reattach the stock wiring connection to the new air hose so the electrical system in the truck picks up emissions and any signals to potentially pop up
