Where can I get a BHAF ? And a nice heat shield?

whats B.H.A.F. stand for anyway? Big Honkin Air Filter? ? ?

 

Yep, you got the definition right And try your local NAPA, Cummins store, or Fleetgaurd supplier. Also a search on here for BHAF will give you more info than you can read, but will include all the different BHAF part numbers and price ranges, and a nice heatshield template.
If I recall, my BHAF was about $44 and I made the heatshield with a little help from a sheetmetal buddy.
If you can't find the template, let me know, and I can email it to ya!

 

Hi I am going to see if I can pick up a BHAF filter today. The heat shield template is in the tech facts section on this site.

 

NAPA part #2790 is what I used, it took the guy a while to find it, he kept asking what it was and I kept repeating #2790. I didn't want to confuse him with BHAF. He found it and had to order it, was here the next day.

I bought the Fleetguard AH19037 at an International truck place for $38. Cummins(just down the street from them)wanted $52 for the same filter.

The Outerwears pre-filter for it should be here any day, and next project is making a heat shield. Thanks tech facts for the template!

 

Anyone have a link for the outerwears pre-filter for the BHAF?

 

Just a of warning. When you attatch the heat shield.... make sure you attach it! Mine came loose and was able to twist a bit, it rubbed a hole in the aluminum A/C line near the firewall. That one is gonna cost me dearly in the spring I'm sure.

 

Listen to Dakar.

Same thing happened to me. My heat shield rubbed the aluminum A/C line and I lost my freon. Easy to replace not to expensive but just make sure the shield is not rubbing anything.


Honestly I took my heat shield off and I don't see any difference in performance or EGT's.

if you call them you can tell them what you have and give them a part number for the fitler, and they will know exactly what you are talking about, you can order right over the phone, all I told him was that I was calling about the pre-filter cover for the air filter that people use to replace the air box assy. on the Cummins trucks, he said "oh the BHAF pre-filter" and we checked the filter number and I ordered one........mine was $33.75 including shipping...

Phone number was 1-800-967-3450

Guys does it seem a little silly using a heat conductive material as a heat shield?

 

Njoverkil,

What are you useing as a heat shield?

 

a heat shield absorbs and dissipates some of the heat also, aluminum is a great material for that...

to be honest I have read that it doesn't really make a difference in EGT's anyway

 

WOULDN'T IT HELP TO FEED THESE AIR FILTERS COOL AIR INSTEAD OF THE HOT AIR FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND IF THIS IS THE CASE ISN'T THE STOCK SETUP BETTER OR WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE STOCK SETUP? ALSO ON ANOTHER POST SOMEONE SAID YOU COULD GET A TEMPLATE IN THE TECH FACT SECTION FOR A SHIELD WHERE IS THIS SECTION?
