Coolness!
Are you planning on refitting a heater core in your intake? I no longer use my truck for a 120 mile round trip daily commute, but while I did during this past summer, I found that a 50-55 F differential was about at the limit of what my intake heater would produce. At that, and with no aerocap at all, I could get FE figures that were identical to what I had gotten the year before with my version 2 aerocap. I have Fuelly logs (as well as what I have here at Ecomodder) that bear this out.
My current daily driver, a 2005 Dodge Magnum, is going to get a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee heater core, as opposed to the transmission oil cooler that my truck received. I modified the intake air box cover to accept the core, and hopefully tomorrow I can trim and double-flare the pipes coming out of the heater core. After that, it's a matter of hooking the installed core to the return line of my existing heater plumbing. I'm going to shoot for an 80 F differential this time.
