Just install the NAPA 2907 BHAF on my truck and I do not think I like it. The filter is too big for the area that is left over. Mine rubs on the bottom side of the hood and altenator. I tried to move the passenger battery toward the firewall some but only got 1/2 inch out of it. I mounted the intake temp sensor in the rubber elbow but it does not fully seal.

I love all the information on this forum but wish someone would have pointed this out. I just hope I can return the filter now.

P.S. anyone have a upper factory intake rubber elbow they would be willing o part with, mine now has a hole in it and I need to replace it.

Thanks,
Charles

 

I havent experienced any of the following. Im sorry to send you astray.

I am going to be getting rid of mine and going with the 4510 Amsoil nano filter. reusable, and is suposed to flow more air

 

wow. . .I have no issues with the way mine fits. I hope there wasnt an under the hood adjustment done from my 04.5 to the 05's.

 

I was going to go with the BHAF and decided not to (for a long while) because of the cost. I think it is a rip for $72 from Napa. I've even heard that some people have got it for around $50 with some type of discount(military, senior citizen, etc.). If they can sell it to one guy for $50 why is it $72 for me? One of the main reasons I don't go to Napa for anything. That and the retards they have running the place here in TN.

I have since found the same exact filter for $38 online and started thinking about it again and decided there just isn't enough space in there on my 01 CTD. SO here I am again, against the idea too.

 

I went to the Amsoil nanofiber earlier this year and thought it has been a great filter for $70. My buddy likes it much better than his BHAF that he spent the same amount for.

 

that amsoilnanofiber isthe filter I'm going to get next.

 

I've got a BHAF in my '00 and didn't have a problem at all. I even built a heat shield to keep some of the turbo heat off of it to help with intake temps. Sorry things didn't work out for you though.

 

you paid $72 for it! wow.

My NAPA had it for $40.

I actually bought mine for $78. but I got 3 oil filters and 2 fuel filter with it on EBAY.


the 4510 nano filter from amsoil is $55. and it is the next one Im getting

 

I didn't pay anything for it. WhenNapa said $72, I said forget it.

Dang it! I just placed an Amsoil order last week. Looks likeAmsoil is the one to get. [sm=headbang.gif]

 

It fit OK in the 2nd gen?

I've never seen a pic of one mounted on a 2nd gen
