Tow Vehicles: K&N Intakes

[gman 82 aquasport]

So anybody up for Scotty doing the Seafoam treatment on his 5.3?

Exactly how would you go about that with an  in-tank fuel pump vehicle?..

Garry, guys do it on the Jeep forum, so apparently, it can be done...

Yep, K&N on my ''02 GMC since new and that filter came from '99 Silverado when it was new! So they do last! No problems ever. Scott, save the money on a cold air intake at 166,000 miles. You wouldn't know the difference. Get the engine decoked and injectors cleaned. It's full of carbon. That's what is eating up HP. Your truck ran fine, just needs Maintenance. Oil changes by themselves aren't maintenance. You're probably still running original plugs. Plug wires @ 80K, wrong Tahoe, you have coil over plug on a 5.3 like outboard ignition. The wires are about 6" long. I've never seen them go bad. 5.7's are a different story.

I have had a K&N filter in my truck for almost it's whole life,13 years and never a problem, the key is when you service it don't over oil and let it dry before you put it back in, I serviced mine in Dec and because I forgot, it sat in the garage for two weeks before I put it back in and I did notice my mileage suffer, that's what reminded me to put it back in.

Do you guys have diesels?

Re. the seafoam....you can hook it to a vacuum line, right?

Gas engines to not create the suction a turbo diesel does.
Most gas engines are fine with a K&N Filter.
Seafoam is an awesome product.
I believe you can go to their site and they will explain the best way to use it.
I believe a brake booster vacuum line is best but don't know for sure.

Some years ago, I had a 17 Whaler with a 100hp outboard.
She ran like crap.
I pulled her out of the water and took to a shop.
They said the motor was shot and needed a rebuild.
I would rather buy new and took the boat.
I had a friend that sold OMC and called him.
He said to bring it to him and he would install a new motor.
A few days later he called and said the boat was ready to pick up.
When I got there it had the same 100hp?
He did a sea foam treatment on her and she ran like a top.
I used that boat till I bought a different boat like 4 years later.
Never had an issue  after that.
I am a fan of Seafoam for sure.

Another de-rail here...

Scotty, 10:15 to go in the first, Wolfpack up on 'Cuse, 15-14...

Back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Thanks for the link seabob,I never thought about using the brake vacumn line as a way to get the seafoam in the engine..I do run the stuff in a tank of gas about every 2 months which is about 4500 miles for me...

[ceejkay]

you cant do the seafoam treatment on earler vortec motor just in case someone has an old 5.7 like me. there is a special way to do it and its on seafoams website

Bob, IMO, the Wolfpack is playing a damn strong game so far. They have the talent...they lack confidence and finishing ability.

They're giving the Orange all they want right now.

Hope they don't fold like that lawn chair we mentioned earlier.

We had them by the kahunies. That last bad pass in the corner by our hotdog freshman doomed us.

That sucks. A win there would have been our free pass  to the Big Dance.

They ain't that good. Duke's gonna kick their azz in Cameron.

Friends, the Wolfpack had a one point lead with possession. A single out of bounds play to close it out.  6.7 seconds left...just get it in play, game over. At Syracuse on their home floor, the number one team in the country:

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Rakeem Christmas had a key steal to set up C.J. Fair's winning layup with 6.7 seconds left, helping No. 1 Syracuse edge North Carolina State 56-55 on Saturday night to remain unbeaten.

Christmas had 14 points, 12 rebounds and seven blocks as Syracuse earned its 10th single-digit win despite shooting 35.2 percent. Jerami Grant had 12 points and 14 rebounds and Fair scored 11 points on 5-of-16 shooting.

The start of the game was pushed back four hours because of a snowstorm that wreaked havoc along the eastern seaboard. N.C. State did not land in Syracuse until Saturday afternoon. The team's Twitter account announced the Wolfpack's arrival at 3:07 p.m., seven minutes later than the original scheduled tip-off.

It turns out it was worth the wait, with a tight game leading to a frantic finish full of missed opportunities.

Ralston Turner missed a 3 for N.C. State with 2:45 left, and then Fair was off on a hook driving across the lane. After N.C. State's Anthony Barber hit the side of the backboard with a baseline jumper, Grant missed a spinning drive in the lane for Syracuse.

Tyler Ennis then fouled Turner while shooting a 3, and he made three free throws to give the Wolfpack a 55-53 lead with 62 seconds left.

Fair sank 1 of 2 foul shots with 41.4 seconds remaining and N.C. State's Desmond Lee then lost the ball out of bounds when he was double-teamed at midcourt.

Ennis negated that turnover with a charge, but the Wolfpack couldn't close it out. After a timeout with 18.3 seconds to go, Christmas stole the ball and Fair put the Orange in front when N.C. State was whistled for goaltending on his layup attempt.

T.J. Warren missed from the top of the key on one last try for N.C. State.
