how do you tell if ur truck is a h/o or not?? ive got a 02 6 speed with 3:55's. thanks for the help

 

A 2002 with a 6speed has a very good chance at being a HO.

You can look at the data plate on the front of the engine to make sure.

where did u get ur bhaf and how much did it cost? And was it worth it?

 

Cummins Rocky Mountain.

Paid right around $50, that is on the high end of what others have been paying.

I'd say it was worth it.
Got rid of the crappy stock airbox and am flowing much more air.

35K miles on it thus far, and it's looking a little soiled,
but nothing like the stock filter it replaced with only 10K on it.

whats the difference between that and the systems you can pay anywhere from 180-500 bucks for on ebay?

 

What we refer to as the Big Honkin' Air Filter is usually the dry paper kind, disposable.

Systems on Ebay are most likely K&N or AFE, which use oiled foam or guaze filters, cleanable and reoilable.

IMHO, Turbo Diesels flow too much air for the average oiled filters, and tend to suck the oil out and deposit it on the turbo blades and in the intercooler.
Then dust and dirt is attracted to the oil, throwing the turbo blades out of balance, and clogging up the intercooler.

Once the oil is sucked out, the filter can't keep the dirt out.

That's just little ole me's opinion though.

lol well that makes sence. Works for me. Guess ill be gettin me one of thoes. Thanks a lot phox

 

If you bgt it used...it's worth a trip to the dealer parts dept. Take your VIN # and ask for a "Build Sheet". Should be free and will list all factory items/options when truck was new.

It is definately an HO, in '02 you could only get the ho with the 6 spd and no 6 spd w/o the HO.

 

exactly - no need to go to the dealer...its a HO.

 

DITTO..Its an HO
