What did you do with your truck/shop today

[kstruckcountry]

My pickup rolled over 139k today. That means I've put about 60k on it myself.

Keep it going, Dan. Yesterday I purchased a K&N filter for my Duramax. Drop in type. There is a slight sound difference and it does get up and go a little bit better, which I am very pleased with since this thing falls on its face when taking off from a stop sometimes, as well as has bad lag when I need it to downshift. Paid $75.00 at Wally World, not bad vs the $85.00 from K&N website. I'm pleased with K&N products, oil filters, air filters, fuel filters. They stand behind their stuff and have your back if the dealer gives you a hard time over it.

K&N do wear out and then will cause MAF sensor faults like crazy.

 

I say after about 4-5 cleanings then truck has fits

K&N is junk. Oil all over sensors and they don't filter as good as OEM.

[LongrangeLauber]

I heard k&n filters for diesels were a bad idea bc the forced induction could suck the oil from the filter and into your trucks intake wreaking havoc

Wow nice guy, I like the way they break down all the time, that's why I'm on my fourth one. My first one is ten years old my daughter drives it now. My Geneses is faster than my 70 Chevelle that I had, and my Santa Fe is a V6 is faster than my 94 impala ss I had that was the fastest Impala except for the 67 427 that my wife's 4 door Geneses will out run. That car is 5 years hard to do with cars of the 60-70s, I was there and own a few.

 

 

You're Santa Fe is a piece of shit that is going to let you down, BADLY, you mark my words. Remember, your POS Santa Fe needs a turbo to be fast. The old cars didn't. As for your Santa Fe being faster than the muscle cars of the 60s and 70s? I don't think so. It may be close in acceleration to 60 MPH but the muscle cars can easily outrun your little SUV in the long run. But... moving on.

Yeah, K&N puts performance above filtration. If you can afford engine rebuilds, then I guess that's fine ... but if you want the vehicle to last a long time, they're not the way to go.

 

I have a K&N CAI, but I only ran the filter for 20k miles before switching to Amsoil (which are now discontinued) filters.

 

I do still have one on my '74 RD350, mainly because I don't feel like rejetting for a new one. Rebuilding that engine is about as easy & cheap as you can get. No coolant, no valves, no cams.

I've had two K&N filters. One of the 88 and one on the 05. It caused nothing but problems on the 05 throwing oil on the MAF sensor. Never again.

<sigh> Ya'll need to learn how to properly care for your filters. I'll leave it at that.

Proper care is buying a conventional filter every 15-20k miles. Oiled filters are a headache with no advantage besides a tiny cost savings.

It's not bad to go with a regular filter on a lot of the newer vehicles anyway. My Cruze is supposed to be changed every 40k or 45k miles I can't remember which. I can get an ACDelco filter on Rock Auto for like $15 shipped. Not really that bad. Just pop the old one out and pop the new one in. No oil or cleaners to deal with.

I'm partial to my AFE filter. I can just blow it out, wash it, let it dry and put it back in. It was pricey but worth it

The Donaldson filter on my Volant intake is rated for 100k miles. Supposed to be a really good filter

Dad used a lot of their filters on his rigs over the years.

[kstruckcountry]

Is it washable or what?
