High capacity k47 vs non ??

[Acesneights1]

OK. I found one not too far from me.

 

[Acesneights1]

The one from square works fine, you just use a 3" PVC elbow, or "street elbow" from the rubber boot to the filter

I already have one on the truck now connecting the cone air filter to the turbo.

You do use the piece that holds the box to the fender, so hopefully it comes with it, if its already absent. Its not the snorkel, but like a large plastic grommet the air box connects to

hmmm. that is the problem. All the ones I called about are already off the trucks and the junkys didn't take that part. I wonder if it's still available from GM and how much...

i could've sworn the air boxes between K47 and non-K47 were different.

When i got my round filter box from a friends 98 K2500 the larger of the 2 filters did not fit in the box. the small of the 2 fit perfectly. The difference in the fiter sizes isn't huge, but it is a significant amount.

OK now. Lets get this cleared up. 10 points to the first guy to post a pic of a factory GM fullsize truck, non-K47, round stlye air box that WILL NOT fit the large filter. I'm not saying they don't exist, but I've never seen one, just heard rumors. If we get pics of it, then it's proof and we can compare! Wonder if I know anyone with a 96up 2wd 1/2ton with a V6.........

I called GM for shits and giggles to get a price on one. I used the vin from the burb(it has the k47)..Everything is discontinued except the rubber boot. 209$ for the boot...Ouch. I'd buy the Heath/S&G one before I spent that.

Post #18 I started my K47 mod.
See #32 & 36 also

This is K47 with 94 boot

 

[buddy]

Someone else recently said the dealer did still have that airbox, but maybe I misinterpretted that. Or its the non-K47 box

When yall buy these K47s used, what are they going for? I got one I might sell if its worth anything

 

[ak diesel driver]

50 - 150 bucks

 

[Acesneights1]

Junky is anywhere from 50-100$. PM me with a price. I need everything, the boot if you have it and more importantly the piece that goes in the fender.

I thought it was just 1 option, the K47 box. Which could fit the regular round filter, or the severe duty round filter.. Here are pics of mine. Originally came off a 1998 K3500 at the junkyard. I paid 30 bucks for it complete. I still have the rubber part off the turbo and the plasticy elbow if anyone wants or needs them. Flow with the old rubber and PVC pipe is much better!

 

[Acesneights1]

So which boot did you use the boot for the square air cleaner box ?

Yes sir! It doesnt have all the holes for the silencer tubes and looks like a much easier flow for air through it!

DS, I like the filter indicator gauge. :thumbsup:

Excellent, I have two square box boots. Good to know and yes I know Leroy, you pointed that out as well, credit where credit is due..

Thanks! Its actually a very nice thing to have. Sometimes the filter can be pretty clogged without even looking at it. I can pickup a new filter for 11 bucks at my NAPA (student discount) so even if i see a little orange on that bugger i change it.
