air cleaner box

[albass]

I have a 2005 Tahoe LT changed the aircleaner the othe day now it rattles as I'm driving down the road it doesn't stay tight to the side of the inner fender where the foam is to the end that takes the air in??? Can anyone tell me how to stop this does it just press against it or does it lock in somehow???

It attaches to a metal plate below the box. There are some plastic push retainers that hold it down. Pull it apart and you'll see.

yes I see where it is held down on the plate my problem is where it goes to the inner fender or airbox inlet where the foam seems to meet the inner fender that it is not tight???

I assume you've take the top half of the air cleaner off along with the filter before trying to properly locate the lower half. If not, do so. Once you have just the lower half of the air cleaner in hand, look at the metal plate it attaches to; there's a channel cut-out on the plate that the the lower airbox drain has to slide into before you can secure the push retainers into the rubber holders. Then the foam will seat properly to the inner fender. It's difficult to describe but relatively easy to do.
