OK haven't posted or been on for a while but will a BHAF 2790 work on our 3rd gen 5.9 trucks? I currently have the S&B set up but really like that BHAF look, just seems like it would pull more air.

 

I put one on my 06. Kindof a tight fit but it worked. Worst part was getting the intake tube over the air filter lip.

 

I have one on my truck. I used all the stock tubing and just inserted a piece of 4" tube into the inlet of the filter and the stock tubing slips right over it. It is a tight fit though. The hard part is installing the air temp sensor on it without breaking the mounting ears off of it since it has a flat mounting surface....

 

did it change your "whistle" did it give you more or less from what you had, and what did you change from?

 

i just left the air temp sensor hanging. haven't had any problems. i had the stock box with a k&n filter. that is what was in it when i bought the truck. there is more of a whistle over the stock box.

 

I put one on my 05 and I can hear a big difference in whistle. I cut out my intake baffles and wrapped my coolant return line in helicopter wire. That will prevent the filter from rubbing throught the return line.

 

Yeah. It whistles much louder now. I pulled my silencer ring but have not pulled the baffles out of the tube yet. It will get even louder then.
You can leave the air temp sensor hanging off to the side and it will be fine as Blitz 81 already said. You just have to have the sensor plugged into the plug or you will get a CEL....
I had the stock setup before installing this. Just remove the airbox and the filter slides right into the hole on an angle....

 

Excuse my ignorance please, what's a BHAF?

 

Big
Honkin
Air
Filter

 

Basically it is a big round filter that is used in much larger diesel powered trucks. Works well in our trucks and can be blown clean a couple times before having to replace it. I got over 50,000 miles on the first one I had on my 03 truck....

 

ok, I have to buy one now..... Just a love/hate relationship I have with this site.....

I am trying to get good filtering and a bit more whistle out of my 62.

 

Im not an expert by any means but, is n't the whisle sound a clear indicator of turbulent air flow??

 

Im not an expert by any means but, is n't the whistle sound a clear indicator of turbulent air flow or cavitation???

 

The reason I ask is that it has been my experience that turbulent air flow or cavitation on a prop or impeller can lead to pitting and catastrophic failure of a prop or impeller.
