Hey folx,

I just ordered a K&N FPIK System for my duramax and would like to ask you if you had any install tips or such advice?

 

Any help is welcome.

I installed one in a previously owned Ford Sport Trac and it went together pretty good.

Check to make sure you have all of the parts.

Look in the K&N filter box to see if one of the metal clamp rings is in it (I thought I was mising one until I opened the filter box).

The intake tube may have different diameters on each end so make sure you install the correct connector on each end.

I'm not sure if the engine computer has to relearn that a new intake is installed. This may involve unhooking the battery for a period of time and then hooking back up.

Maybe someone else could add info about the computer.

I have a 2002 2500HD and have not found out about the computer relearn yet.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

Thanx alot Kelly. I'll make sure to keep your pointers in mind and report back after the install. I hope it goes smoother than my recent Westin Grill GUard install. I cant seem to be able to centre the GrillGUard. The lower brackets are preventing me from doing so but thats another problem all together.

I would recommend using a nutdriver or socket to loosen/tighten the "hose" clamps.  A cordless drill can make this a 5-10 minute job.

shaners. read that one first. Thanx. Was hoping for some input  on a Duramax install and maybe could give some pointed tips towards that application. Your HOW To is very good and definately will be printed out and lying on the fender when i install the FPIK.

 

Thanx folx.

No idle relearn is necesarry for a simple cold air induction kit as the MAF will pick up any difference right away anyway and adjust for it.

Actually, this is the right address to go to  www.ajusa.com/ebay

Sorry!

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
