air filter!

[wbrucex]

i got a High-Flow Cone Air Filter , used from a friend. the motor wont run right , with it on.

How long did you run it? The reason I'm asking is because those high flow cone filters like the K&N are meant for onroad use and you'll suck up dirt into the engine if used offroad.

i cleaned the filter, runs good with it off.

Well that narrows it down then. Time to pick up a HPI filter then.

I have seen this several times. My guess is there is to much oil on the filter, or to thick of oil & it's acting like a choke on. Re clean it & just try running it once the filter is dry & clean without actually driving the truck. I bet it's better ! I would not run that filter off-road though & would run an HPI for best protection. Outerwares is a MUST for the cone filters.

I would trust the stock filter from rerdcat before that cone filter.


to many cons about it


1)staying clean..


2) getting wet and letting air in is a issue.


3)as said, to much oil will restrict it badly.


4) not like a 2 stage filter.


best thing to do to check it is,


soak it in gas to clean it up or use brake cleaner(option) to clean it


then check it with a flash lite to see if you can see some lite


then run it dry for a few...


then you will know if the filer element is no good...

can you the filter in the grass, with a Outerwares on it?

 

[forist]

You could but I wouldn't for a long time. For a short time it should be ok as long as it's not dusty. I mentioned that to you the other day.

Guys have sucessfully run that style filter with a inner foam element and Outerwares on the outside.

 

[wbrucex]

put a hpi filter on it runs great!

This is what you need. This is optional. You could just cross the linkages. Your choice.
