Default Another Mod off the checklist!

Went down and picked up a K&N CAI today and installed it! Love the sound when getting on it and throttle response is much better! Waiting to see if I see any change in mpg. Next up Hella's 500FF behind the grill next week! However, thinking of painting the hose clamps black...the silver kind of bothers me, just a little nuts I guess for detail Couple pics...

Looks good man. Maybe paint the silver clamps red. Be different. It would look custom.

I have the same year truck but I got the 77 series and mine didn't have the same type clamps, I ordered mine from Autotrucktoys.com and had it in about 5 days. I did pick up on the gas mileage but I also put on a bed cover from lear the same weekend
