Got this K&N Intake from a guy off craigslist a couple hours ago.
Just some issues though, he drilled a hole in it for his IT sensor (He had it on a 2010) and I don't have the sensor, so what can I fill the hole up with? I looked for a plastic or rubber plug kinda thing on the way home at a couple shops, but couldn't find anything. Or some type of heat resistant tape? (Which is what he suggested) Right now I've got it wrapped with black electrical tape.
And i've got like a whisting/howling type noise when the gas pedal is pressed bout 1/4 way. What could be causing that? And if you keep it pressed 1/4 at a steady speed the noise will keep howling. Once its pressed to about 1/2 you dont hear that anymore. Instead you just hear the deep throaty noise if you're gettin' on it
(Is that noise normal? lol)
(Yeah, Its dirty under there....waiting for it to warm up so I can start my full detail!
)
Lastly, I had to replace the breather hose because the stock one I had wasn't long enough to reach. We just drove to the local auto store and bought rubber tubing there (I think its 1/2 inch? idk) Is this okay or is there a certain type of hose that needs to be used to the breather? This pic is from a piece I cut off the new hose bc it was to long.
All In all I think I got a good deal and am happy,
AND I talked him in to selling me his Rugged Liner E-Series Folding Tonneau cover!! They usually sell for right around $300!
K&N 57-1529 = $100
Almost 1/2 Tank of Gas = $30
New hose = $ 1.60
E-Series Rugged Liner Tri-folding Tonneau = $50
Quality time with my truck = Priceless
