Hey guys, in order to get mine to "snap on" I had to snap one side on first then the other. Would not snap if I tried to do both sides at the same time.

 

The snap is there, takes some finesse...

 

I will give it a go again, When I did the mod I was pressed for time.

 

"Finesse"... Is that a nice way to say "force" it?? LOL

 

This is a great mod the burning question is why didn't the factory do it? I did mine just after getting the truck and have been trying to do my sons ever since he's just never here. I am curious as to how long the wix filters last if doing mostly gravel roads?

 

just changed my filter at 6000 miles of use. 99% pavement but we live in a dirt hole anyways. filter was nasty, airflow was about 50% of what it should be. changed filter and bam! good to go

 

Changed mine at 12,500 miles of use, absolutely disgusting. Probably gonna start doing every 7500 when i rotate tires

 

Sounds like somebody was telling somebody to power down an protein shake and hit the gym....

 

Thanks for the replies.Wow 6000ml and mostly pavement, my other vehicles that stay off gravel I change around 40,000km 25,000ml. I'll check my trucks filter at the first oil change and see what it's like. Perhaps because the weather here is 8 months of winter and 3 months of tough sledding there's not much dust in the air. My son's truck will be a different story he does almost all gravel, he might be changing his every week or two in the summer, this could be the reason the factory didn't install one. I will have to find a better supplier for the filters. Amsoil handles wix but they don't have a listing for this particular filter.

 

this place is a dust bowl.

 

Well the 08 Box looks nothing like that.

Get out the dremmel

I'll get some pics up later. This is going to be major surgery

 

Went to buy some new 24578 Wix filters today from the same place I got the last 3 from less than 2 months ago. The price has jumped from $17:XX to $44:XX I told them to keep them. I stopped in at NAPA they have the same Wix filter for $13:XX but they don't recognize the first number so just use 4578.

 

Rock Auto is 9 bucks for the Wix

This Mod cannot be done on the 08. Good thing my wifes charger uses the filters

 

Discount Fleet Supply has the Wix for $6.62. They are located in Georgia, so it costs a little more to ship to CA. I ordered 4 of them for $36 shipped.

 

has anyone done a cabin filter on an08 yet?
