Semi restoration of a 1984 K20 pickup.
5.3 LS, nv4500, np241c.
Well I got sidelined... damnit maybe they will overnight me the condensor like I asked in email.. praying for that.. it’ll be 107 a few days this week and I really am not looking forward to melting my ass off on the way home..
True..
During the melt off session #3 this week... this happened on my anniversary today, guess Ethel got jealous.. I am sure at this point I am almost caught up to @Babaganoosh with the ls breakage war..
It was welded.. I dunno anymore and I didn’t even hear anything but I got a small whiff of gear oil when I pulled in and it didn’t register.. I saw it when we pulled in from our dinner..
Oops! I did that same thing with a gov lock in a 14 bolt. Just tack weld the hole shut and fill it with oil and pretend it never happened.
Time to full float it!!! Sigh no more breaking.
Yeah put a 10 bolt in it.

Nice carnage. My 12b did that but without the hoonage.
Let's face it, that poor thing was on borrowed time with your right foot getting after it.

It is not like I drove it like a race car!!
Ok maybe I did a little.. not my fault it sounds like a Camaro.. if you close your eyes when your wide open in 3rd if feels just like a Camaro buuut you closed your eyes like an idiot wide open in 3rd.. wait what? Lol
I figured i didn’t want to melt any further so I moved back to the Ac stuff.. damn near done minus the fan switch wiring into the trinary pressure switch.
So the second benefit of this is it is forcing me to tape up my harness and get some loom for it. Also moving the battery may be required.. or the air cleaner.. I wanna use the oem box which I still have really bad because the open element gets dirty quick.. really bad when it’s talcum powder dust.
Yeah I've worked on a bunch of off-highway oilfield trucks and stuff and oem filter housings always seem to work better than open as long as you swap them out regularly.
I have a k&n filter in it but I am not convinced it filters well enough, I clean and oil mine at every oil change mainly because that’s a holdover from dirt bikes.. but I consistently notice the oil coming out pretty dirty, now that is a visual identifier which may hold zero fact so once I get this back together I’ll prob do an oil analysis just to see if there is a marked difference in the paper oem filter and the oiled k&n.. I know there is “airflow” improvement but I am more about the longevity than the perfromance..
Yeah they will definitely let more air through but also more dirt. Especially that fine powder crap. Just hang one of these off your fender and all your problems will be solved. Or one on each side for that super trucker look.

What does it look like post filter? Any dusting?
Steve you need a ump filter.
Ump’a flow like shit for high demanding motors, but near stock/light modified they’re wonderful.
The ford diesel air filters do a great job to. I
Made a air box for a TT 446cu ls sandrail after his umps were robbing to much, i used the ford diesel filters, giant blue things

The one in our 10 car with the ecotec is amazing what it catches.
