Some of the 04's have the 3.9 engine. if you look at the sticker on your cooling fan itll say either 3.8 or 3.9 Then just order a cai accordingly

doesnt really matter if u have a 3.9 or 3.8 that CAI fits. Cuz i ordered one couple days ago and just installed it today and works perfectly. They only diffrence is 3.9L doesnt have Intake Air Tem Sensor. So what you have to do is you need to buy a plastic plug from autozone and fill that hole on the intake that is use for Intake Air Tem Sensor.
