Hi again and thanks to all for the input you've given me. I couldn't be happier that I found this site full if people with such great information. My newest question is........ where the heck is thus soot trap/ catalytic converter located. I've read that removing this and adding a 4 inch east will increase outward air flow to match the increase in inducted air from the new ,less restrictive filter I plan to purchase and install tomorrow. If anyone has a picture of this piece and where it's located would help me greatly. I'd hate to remove the wrong part and mess this whole thing up. Thanks again for being there for me
Best regards.

What kind of 'less restrictive' air filter is going into the truck?

Reason for the question is that some aftermarket units will increase the in-cab drone by a noticeable amount. Also, while they 'claim' that they are cold-air intake, they can (and do) pull in warm air from the engine bay. And lastly, there is debate as to whether oiled filters are any benefit.

Thank you for that insight. As of now, it seems to have a cylinder type paper filter that is enclosed and sucks air through a hole in the passage side front fender. It appears to be fairly new. If you have any suggestions on what to get, any info would help.
Thank you

As AK mentions, the description matches the OE K47 air box. It might also be the S&B airbox if you can see through some of it. Picture will help with the verification.

Toward the actual filter. A few years ago I saw an article where somebody took the time to measure filtration vs airflow for the cylindrical filters and the Napa filter was the overall best. Things might have changed since then, but I am still running the Napa filter in my K47 box.
