Know anyone that has bought the k&n cold air intake for the v10 myn currently doesn’t have an intake tube on it and was looking at them to save some mpg even a little help are they any good?

 

Lots of money for little or no gain.

 

Oh okay ever read anything on cummins swap for it will everything bolt up like the tranny or anything?

 

Be easier to just sell it, and get a truck with the diesel.....

I love my 8.0. I have never experienced a smoother running engine.

 

I love myn as well but it seems to me if I ever had to replace the engine it would be close to impossible to find another one

 

Yeah, likely it would be 'different truck' time..... But, when I was looking, I regularly found them with well over 200K miles on them.... a significant percentage of them were close to 300K..... I don't think the engine blowing up will spell the end of mine, I more suspect it will be some funky sensor that I can't get any more.

 

Lol for sure myn has 228k on it still runs like a champ but we live in the mountains with snow and mud every now and again so sometimes you have to get on it a little bit I’m just worried that if I was to brake something it would be impossible to find another motor But I’ve put so much in the truck already I’d hate to get rid of it

 

How in the world are you suppose to flush a heater core in one of the v10s I can’t find it anywhere on someone doing it

 

I looked at mine. It appears that getting to the fittings at the core itself, is impossible without pulling at least the upper intake off...... I think (if I remember right) both hoses run around the drivers side of the engine, UNDER that part of the intake.... and go up to the front. So, just pull the hoses off at the front, and backflush from there. Yeah, that's gonna be a lotta fun..... I suspect that coolant will want to run out from every hole you open as well. Have some corks handy.

 

Lol for sure I was looking at it yesterday after finding out my heater doors didn’t work so I manually operated them and still luke warm heat I seen a post saying they blew it out with compressed air but I’m not sure how that will work
