Welp, I was step 2 on swapping out my air intake, and I flicked a red retainer safety clip to another universe... took like 30 minutes looking for the dang thing. No dice. Install video needs to say gentle remove the clip!!! 😂😂😂

Anywho, can anyone help me try to source the red safety clip shown in this picture. You'd be a freaking life saver.

I hope someone can help me 😅 Got some time since I dont daily my truck.

I’d bet that that clip is used on other models and years of vehicles. I’d check with your local ford service dept and the local repair shops in your area.

that is exactly right!!!!

like i tell nephews and nieces, why be a great uncle when you can be a super uncle.



its funny, that nickname has been used since i was a freshman in high school in 1990. my cross country coach started it and it just stuck. someone in the army found out about it and i got called that in the army too so during airborne school, i go the superj tattoo.

its similar ot this but the background is the flag

I can confirm because I did that same thing. This part number is correct.
