I have a similar truck. The flapper-valve is integrated into the air-filter housing. It is simply designed to speed up the warm-up cycle, then maintain a relatively consistent air temp in order to help keep emissions within a more predictable window.

You are better off using one that is vacuum or electrically operated for ease of control.
