Hi, I was changing my oil and found this between the oil pan and skid plate.

I believe it's for the air filter, but I'll be darned if I can find where it's supposed to go. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

A pic is worth a thousand words, so a picture would be great. It wasn't all used up, my daughter decided to put her mouth on the end and suck on it. So now it reads fully clogged. Ahhh, 4 year olds!!

goes on your intake tube near the air filter..probably just popped out. passenger side..empy hole before the filter housing.

Duh, found it. It's on the side of the upper part of the air box. thanks.

How do you use it and what does it tell you?

Its the air filter change reminder - It tells when your filter shes a dirty.....

lol, just push the button on the tip to reset it

never had it work for me, and I pulled some pretty grungy filters out.

Mine is at 100% every time I turn around. You need more power :D

Laughs, mine was always showing 100% whenever I ran the edge on L5. I drop kicked the factory OEM paper filter and put in a K&N. Now, the gauge doesnt even budge. :) Wahoo!

.....and as you suck more dirt into your engine using that K&N setup, you'll wish that OEM filter was still there.....

ACDelco OEM paper was shown to be the best overall filter.

Bacon,

How the h_ll did you get your hands on my Mama JJ's picture? ):h

I WISH! :p: JJ :)

I do remember the filter tests from a while back.

I wanted to hear more turbo and wanted to let a little more air in, without changing the actual in-take.

I don't think that the level of dirt (dust particles) that the K&N lets in, is going to damage the turbo bad enough in my lifetime. If it does, then I'll upgrade to an ATS Turbo on TWINS ;)

:exactly: The reason that the K&N won't show that the filter is plugged is that it doesn't do anywhere near as good a job filtering the crud out of your air supply. Hell, if you really want to remove all the inlet restriction, just run without an air filter! :cookoo: You will notice that she performs pretty good for a short while. Then you will be :cussing:! Running the K&N is about the same, only it will keep the gravel and leaves out!:shootself

Andrew,

The dirt won't stop at the turbo, It will get the valves and seats, pistons, rings and cylinder walls too! :Insane:

Ho hum. No more K&N for me.

Even in my gassers, I switched back to AC Delco and sold the K&N's on Ebay. In fact, my wifes Yukon XL runs a DMAX filter....

Use the OEM filter and swiss cheese the box.
