This might further explain...
If one of these adapters will work, then I can possibly tilt the battery forward enough to create space enough to fasten the adapter. Then I can attach to the top and run these batteries until they quit. At that time, then I can buy dual post and the problem goes...
I'm not ruling it out @Twisted Steel Performance . There is another part I am considering also, after all is said and done.
Is there any objection to using something like these to put my dual connector on top of the battery rather than buy new batteries...
After seeing the flow rate stated by Wix, I understood better.
I'm going to borrow a dual post battery from a guy with a Duramax I know to see if I can get that to work and then see if I can adapt in the K47 filter housing I have. I have a 46440 and a 46441 filter as well.
I have not. Good...
Relocating the battery under the hood isn't going to happen with the big fat fiberglass hood so I am considering top post battery.
Worst part is that the side post batteries in it now are under 3 years old
Anyone use a drop out battery tray under the bed?
Here is what it looks like with the original filter housing. I think it's reasonable to see that it could be done. It's clean looking. The flow rate got my attention though.
Flat filter (46316) = 100 CFM per WIX
Large or small K47 filter (46441 or 46440) = 250 CFM per WIX
There appears to be plenty of flat real estate on the inside of the fender to mount a battery tray. I suppose I'll put some "fat-lady" rubber between the tray and the inner fender to keep it from rubbing and rusting.
I think the battery relocation is the way I'll end up going. It just seems more feasible at this point although I'm unsure if the hood will close once the battery is up there. It's really close. I moved one of the elbows to direct the smaller version of the K47 type air filter and it seems to...
I will take a better look today but I'm leaning toward something like this:

I/C has to be down the road. This truck needs some road time. It was actually supposed to be my DD this summer and that hasn't happened yet. The time to focus on it is limited so the 5 hours I had yesterday got me some major progress, relatively speaking.
Rubber.
I was thinking that...
