So after last week, I told myself I wasn't going to order anythign for a while, well that while laster like 3 days. I just placed an order at Autoanything.com for a K&N 63 filter for the truck. I sure hope this stuff (tonno cover and intake) make a big difference in gas mileage. I kinow the intake made a HUGE difference in my 03 Neon I had. Now if it makes any noticalbe difference oon the truck, then yay for spending 400 dollars for both these things. :-P

 

I have read several other responses concerning the K&N 63. I am trying a cheaper method. I purchased the airaid modular intake tube from autoanything for 99.95 free shipping. This tube connects to the existing air filter box and directly to the thottle body intake. I have a K&N replacement filter already in the existing air filter box. This might be more retrictive than the K&N 63, I do not know for sure, but it has to be better than the factory setup. Has anyone else tried this?

 

congrats on the purchase, I hope all goes well with it. Im gonna get an intake soon, as soon as I pay the truck payment and insurance etc.

 

It kinda sucks, cuz currently I have no job, so all this stuff I am buying is coming from my saving, and that is taking it away from my college money, and my truck payments. lol... *hides debit cards* gahhhhh!

but in theory, this should save me money shouldn't it? Isn't it gonna be like 10 - 15% for both the intake and the tonno? so in theory, I should be getting about 20 - 30% better gas mileage right?

 

Yeah I suppose you would sabe money in the long run. It will just be a while till it starts to pay itself off :-)

By the way how old are you? Im in a financial struggle too with my truck payments n stuff too :-P Nothing serious, just hard for a 17 *almost 18* year old to pay the bills, and to get stuff for my truck.

 

my tonneau helps on long road trips
the intake helps on the highway too

for road driving they seem to have decreased my milage more so because its fun to hear the growl from the inake :P

 

I just turned 20 Sunday. So, it was like my birthday gift to myself. I have like 9,000 dollars in the bank right now... and my problem is I know I have that, and it makes me want to spend it! Plus College tuition is kickin my ***! That's my main problem!

 

I hate to do this, but check into your Army National Guard recruiting office. You could make some serious money for enlisting and then there is also school money with 100% Tuition Assistance.

Sorry

 

Frenchy...

How much did you pay for the intake???

They wanted like $270 on www.autoanything.com for it, I thought

Cheapest I found it for was $255 shipped on ebay

 

I thought about the Army Enlisting, but, I lost one of my eyes when I was 6, so I can't enlist. Oh well tho..

And Dan, the name's Joe, and you have a PM.
