Any of you have any good fixes with some pics of what you did when your 3rd strike tab broke? Mine broke off right at the intake tube. And now whenever I fire my truck up you can hear it "clunk" and then when you are going over a curb, such as into my driveway, the shift of the truck causes it to squeak up agains the fender, and heat shield. Need to figure a way to fix it solid. If I knew that would have been that big of an issue, I would have gone with something else......Just gave me something else to have to work on....

Man, that one sure is similar to a 3rd strike....broken tab and all....
 Thanks for the pics guys. I think I have it somewhat taken care of for now. I figured out it was squeaking on the rubber seal on the bottom of the hole the intake goes through. I just cut out the bottom strip and replaced it by sticking a rubber weather strip to the bottom of the intake that doesn't squeak when it shifts. Seems to have solved the issue, but I would like to make it more solid eventually replacing the broken tab essentially.Amsoil Dealer (Greenwood, IN) Ph#: 317-383-6061 05 Atlantic Blue 1500 4x4 QC Superchips, Dynomax Bullett, 3rd Strike intake, Taylor Shorties, NGK 2314 Iridium plugs, 180 t-stat, Amsoil'd out, Tinted windows, torsion lifted, debadged, billet antenna, billet fuel door, Billet front/rear cup holders, tinted 3rd brake light, Ventshades, Line-X, Alpine 9885, Kicker KS series 5.25, and 6.5 components, Kicker KX350.2 amp, Kicker 12" DVC Comp VR Future Dodge Challenger owner...if I am rich or gas prices drop....

I used 2 very small and strong springs. I drilled into what was left of the tab and hung the spring on the bolt the tab goes to.
The third strike unit is the same as the 60 dollar unit I got on e-bay. I bought a second one and had a guy weld a brace under the tab. the tab eventually broke in a diferent location, that is why I now use the springs to support it. 04 Blue RC/SB ( Member #300 ) Superchips Tuner,Pacesetter headers, CAI, Custom Aero exhaust 125 SHOT OF NITROUS " ZEX ", 2/4 drop,sway bar, etc... |

That's a good idea, although my tab broke off right at the intake. There really is nothing left.

I went to Home Depot and got a 3 or 4 inch id (can't remember diameter) rubber pipe connector from the plumbing department and 2 stainless pipe clamps for about 7 bucks. Slit the rubber with a razor, install over cai where it goes thru the box, and clamp. The thickness of the rubber is almost a perfect fit in the box hole.

That is what I was considering.....just wasn't sure it would "wedge" it in there.....thanks for answering that. I might just do that.

Great idea! Works well and actually looks like it is supposed to be there. I bought one that came with the clamps for $4.99. And so everyone knows....it is 3". 5 min. to install.
