    Air Cleaner Housing obstructed by two major hoses!

    Howdy... my 2004 B2300 has a radiator hose and an a/c hose crossing tightly over the top of my air cleaner housing!!!  Just notice this after two years now.  Worse, it seems pretty impossible to open and slide-away that housing & air hose assembly from the cartridge cavity for changing the filter.  Has anyone else noticed this feature of their engine compartment???  It's hard for me to believe that this is the Mazda/Ford design spec!!!  Any good leads here?  Let me know, please.  And thanks!

    It sounds to me like someone had their front feet in your truck.  I'd suggest going to a junk yard and looking at other 04 mazdas and looking how their lines are run to see what you have to do to fix yours.

    It's not broke... It's just.... Ok it's broke but I can fix it! Where's my duck tape?
