I think it depends on the air filter neck. Make sure that clears the spur.
But it could also mean other things like a bad engine mount or a bent chassis.

Most likely cause is the chasis as stated above. I went through about 6 filter tubes and a motor before I swapped out chasis'. You can ususally find them on the bay for $15-$20.

mines been doing this too. I feel the pain. I just layered some duct tape on it so if the spur gear does chew through something other then my intake duct. I was also debating to see if i can re route the air filter away from the spur gear.

Gone - bye bye.
Your truck is bent in half a bit.
If you dont feel the need to fix it, you can seal up the hole ifrom the inside with some shoe goo or some silicone.
