LOL, I never imagined that a person could have fun unless they "got the feeling", boy, was I wrong.No worries, no booze here
Retired from the Montana Defartment of Transportation. Put in three years on road maintenance, patching, sanding, snow plowing, run back hoe and loaders a lot, mostly drove truck. Went to being a mechanic after a position opened in the shop, Mostly welding and doing PMs on the larger equipment, some on the smaller stuff. Did that for 28 years. Now retired, sort of. LOLYeah residential contractor. You?
It did come with a K&N filter, I replaced that with a paper filter, when that gets dirty, I will have the K&N cleaned and oiled and ready to sip back into there.
I`m in luck, it does have the cylindrical shaped filter.If the filter is the flat style, start looking around for a conversion to the K47 style setup which will take a cylinder style filter. Sometimes they are on the auction sites and it is possible to find it on the bone-yard site. Hint: the gasser and diesel shared the K47 code, but they are not the same part.
If the air box is the K47 and using a cone style filter, look for a radial crease about in the middle of the filter (half way between the end caps). If it does have a crease, that filter is adding to the intake restriction and the truck needs a cylinder style filter.
I was once a fan of oiled filters, but went back to paper as the economics just were not there. Especially with the maintenance factor of an oiled filter. Paper filters are simple swaps. Oiled filters are pretty much a day's worth of down time and messing with to get just the right amount of oil (and not to much) saturated throughout the pleats. Just say-in.
And, X-2 about removing the snorkel.
That too is good to know.2000 won't have the snorkel restriction in the fender
Out it goes and into the trash. LOLK&N's plug faster than paper while letting more dirt through. Toss it. Clean your MAF as some later years had one and K&N likes to oil them up. Aftermarket intakes are hot air intakes except a select few as you noted. And, yes, not knowing the year... 2000 doesn't have the GM horrible intake design in the fender.
I too like to try to use original equipment components when possible. Unfortunately this was on a Saturday afternoon so NAPA WIX it was. LOLI found different designs of k&n performed different, and the housing it is in effects filters also. But yeah k47- I would use AC Delco 1st and Baldwin 2nd. But that was as of 10 years ago. No clue on the new stuff.
