air filter gauge thingy
 

I'm looing for the little gauge that goes on the air box that tells you when to change the filter. anyone have an extra one? or know where there is one. I need one for my newly purchased airraid intake that I got for $91.

I'm pretty sure I got one coming. Someone on Diesel bombers had one.

Donaldson Filters sells similar air filter restriction measuring devices:

What the heck do you need one of those for? I don't think mine even works. I've never seen it move.

RE: air filter gauge thingy
 

I dont need one but in the tube there is a hole for one and I would rather put one in than plug it with something else

That and I'm going to do some air filter testing

RE: air filter gauge thingy
 

Oh .... LOL ... you are off of the exhaust system testing and now on air filters eh? How many have you tested so far?

Wasn't the last exhaust test count up to 5 or 6?

:D

RE: air filter gauge thingy
 

I knew this was coming. I have only changed my filters twice, three counting stock.

stock, BHAF, amsoil 4510

I am going to test all of those. plus the airraid comes with a K&N 6" filter so that will be tested but I am goiing to stay with my amsoil filter. But I will eith have to get a 6511 filter or make the airaid work with the 4510. the 4510 has a 4" opening and the 6511 has a 6" opening which is what the airaid tube uses. So if someone wants a my 4510 plus 20 bucks they can buy me the 6511 so I can use it. lol

and I may be changing my exhaust again lol. my neighbors arent liking the Aero at 5:30 in the morning. ha ha

If you still need one next tuesday, PM me. I'm getting my truck back monday and I don't think it'll be used with my twins setup.

Also, what size is your aero muffler? What do you do with your exhausts after you trade?

RE: air filter gauge thingy
 

my aero muffler is about 2-2.5 feet long. Any of the exhaust setups I have had included an Aero except when I ran straight pipe (way to loud on a 3rd gen). I ran two aeros at one time and liked that setup and wish that is what I kept.

right now I have the aero where the stock muffler was and the rest is all straight pipe.

usually I trade or sell them when I'm done

filtermeter
 

My filtermeter blew up....I have a K&N in there....do I really need it? Also, at idle, RPMS are jumping up to 1000...is that thing sucking air and messing with the idle? Thanks for the help. Paul

yes it is and you need to plug that off ASAP NOW before you start the truck again all the air is going through that hole and your not using your air filter. Since the air filter is restricted part of the intake now... take care of that ASAP you can dust your engine with dirt and scar the cyl walls

I had a simular thought about this indicator until mine moved about half up the scale -near new filter, maybe 10K. Not beleiving, I re-set and check after a short drive , again to my amazement indicator had moved about mid scale.

When I opened up the filter box, the filter was all distored and the element was generally flattened out laying across the flow path.

Why?? What I determined was I had drove about 8 hours in generally moderate to heavy rain, and apparently too much water was sucked into the system and turned the filter to a wet mess that lost its shape.

Replaced filter - no further problems.

ANY STORE THAT SELLS HEAVY DUTY TRUCK BRAKES, FILTERS AND PARTS FOR BIG RIGS WILL SELL THOSE FILTER MINDERS:icon_hyper:
