I have been doing little upgrades here and there. So far, everything you stated or suggested has worked out 100% for my Jeep. I'm very grateful.Check out the chart in post #11 above and see if you still want to run that K&N.
What's the best aftermarket air Intake?

What did you use for an air intake for the V8?
Right now I'm rebuilding the 5.3 and plan to do the conversion late spring/early summer. Doing much of the planning now.
I had a couple of different intakes that I tried. This was my most recent air intake.
This was my first intake.
But now I have a 6 pack so it'll be interesting to see what I can figure out.
Have you ever thought about installing a pre-filter or two over the top of those open air filters? Mine was passing so much crud and dirt I ended up having to place a foam prefilter on as the first layer and a K&N "Precharger" prefilter on the outside to reduce the crud collecting inside the air intake.
Yes I had some PreFilters for them but the mice had ate thru them so I had to throw them away. Of all the different filters I tried I found I liked the AEM dry washable filters. They seems to allow the least amount of dirt into the intake and breathed good too. And yes I agree a prefilter of some sort helps a LOT. I first used them on my quads I had.
The 6pack intake I have has a K&N filter in it right now so I've got to get a paper filter for it.
