BHAF on a Dmax
Hey yall. Just wondering if the BHAF for our trucks would fit on the Dmax's. I'm curious because my mom needs a new intake on her truck and she doesn't feel like spending $200 for one and I won't let her do the K&N drop in. Thanks for the help yall.

I don't think there is room in there for the filter.
|
My wifes cousin has a Duramax. It is quite crammed underneath the hood. A BHAF would be a real tight fit, if it would fit at all.
|
Don't stop there, put the cummins in it so it will be a hork horse, not a car!!!
|
Thanks for the help. I'm gonna try this weekend and let yall know how it works and what I had to do to make it fit.
|
Just cut the metal grate off and cut some out of the filter and put the metal grate back on and there ya go. j/k
I also doubt it will fit cause they compartment is so crammed. Thats why i dont like to work on Dmax's. |
Sean, you know me. I'll make it work. Where there's a will there's a way. Or maybe it's, if there's alcohol, there's a way?[eyecrazy] [laugh]

A BHAF fits in the stock air box location just as good, if not better, than the stock air box. It clamps right up to the stock piping and everything. Now I just got to figure out a way to remove the anti tamper torx bit from the mass air meter and transfer that over to the new setup. I hate anti tamper torx bits. Yall think chevy would sell the bit? They've got to. I'll try and get pics of it later on once I get everything finished.

Good geeky computer stores often have anti-tamper bit sets. I've also had good luck with knocking out the stupid anti tamper pin out with a hammer and a punch.
|
It's the BHAF from Napa. That's about the best I can do. It actually looks kind of small in there. I doubt you'd really even notice it. It fits perfect. I'll try some computer stores. Are you talking stores like Radio Shack? Or more like Comp USA? I was thinking bout taking a dremel and just cutting a notch in it to make it a flat head. I'd rather not though in case I have to put things back to stock for warranty.

You can get an anti-tamper torx at any supply store, I think.
Instead, just use a center punch to flatten out the dimple. |
Try going to Sears and getting some of those new screwouts its a thingy kinda like a easyout for your drill i use them every day and they work great , I havent run across one stripped screw or torxs i cant remove ,
|
Smokee, I've been to every hardware store in the great cities of Sugar Land, Rosenberg, Richmond, and Stafford Texas trying to find a anit tamper torx bit. I'll check the yellow pages and see what I find there for computers. If not, I guess the center punch and hammer would work. But I'd really hate doing that around such a delicate piece of equipment.

Hey BB,
Look in yellow pages under architectural hardware suppliers. They carry all kinds of anti-tamper screws and bits for commercial hardware. There is one in southwest houston called Bartley's of Texas or something along that accord. Good luck!! Gary |
Try an auto parts store. All of ours in our little town have them.
