Air Intake

[ewbloom]

Have any of you upgraded your intake to one of those extra large, insulated, washable filter type intakes?

If so.....did it help with mileage and power?

i don't think any filter will help you gain mpg

I know that a filter in and of itself will not make an mpg change.

The related larger air intake with cooler air can improve power and in some instances mpg.

But maybe I am confusing my understanding of a diesel application.

Still, has anyone changed their air intake system?

no point it is just a wast of money. main thing is just keep the filter clean. i guess you could go with a open element air clear if you wanted but i don't think you would gain anything other than a air sucking sound.

Welcome! it may help to go into the 4th gen section for questions. This is the first gen section for 80's-93 trucks. You may not get much help for your truck in this section haha.

I have a 05 and I bought the k&n drop in filter I can't say I noticed a huge difference. But hey on the bright side I never have to buy a filter again
Hope this helps

Just get a good 14x3 and make sure you keep a clean filter in it.

I had a 14x3 on my 2nd gen 360 and have a 14x5 on my 89. No real noticeable gain in power or mpg but mades the whistle of thottle body nice and loud. I love that sound
