also i would like to get an air intake system for my truck. i have 105,000 miles on it. would an intake system still be worth putting on? also there are so many on ebay i really dont know which one to get. here are 2 that i saw on there.

RE: a few mod questions.
The fuel saver...dont waste your time.Many topics bout this and it is very fake!
As for an intake,
MAke sure you get one with a Heat Shield. Also the improvment gains are rated in the 4500 rpm range. So unless you rev your engine that high, you wont see much gain
Many topics have been discussed about this, search a little through the forums and you will find many topics about intakes.
some say they gained 1-2mpg while others said they went faster on the track, while others have said nothing major came out of it.

RE: a few mod questions.
the autokraz intake looks to be much better than the redline motorsports one. it includes a heatshield and replace the entire intake all the way up to the throttle body
the main thing is GET A HEATSHIELD! if it doesnt include one, i believe you can buy them on ebay also but the heatshield is what helps the most
a few months back, i paid $$$ for a K&N FIPK air intake and im about to hit the 104,000mi mark

RE: a few mod questions.
that flo saver is like the vortec thing a few years ago, i have a story bout this one, well its not really a story,
my dad use to be fleet director for the new england area of verizon, formly bellatlatic, formly nynex, well he had them test it in their trucks(in hope of saving the company money) they found it fdid not do anything, infact in some trucks they reduced the gas mileahge in some trucks,
these trucks were both diseal and gas btw
o and in the winter they reduce milage, well when its cold, becasue a cold air intake is exaclty that, it sucks up cold air from an are away from the engine, but when the engine area is very cold to begin with like in the winter the cold air intake has no effect really, serveral guys at my shop havve them, they all say the same thing i did just in a much more complicated way that i cant remeber
