I took a few pictures of my trucks engine compartment today. Since realizing I wasn't as attentive as I should have been in the beginning...

Since I don't have a lot of knowledge of the engines yet, I don't know how to recognize stock vs not just yet.

Not stock...Airaid CAI.










And I just had to share this...Irritates me. The exhaust....
I love the exhaust, the way it looks from the outside anyway.... Duals, dumping out the rear sides...
But Here you can see where it was cut up front... and sized DOWN.




Then it comes back, and has SOME KIND of resonator/muffler in place...who knows...but steps up again...


Then steps back DOWN again, and into a restrictive "Y" pipe split...




So yes, exhaust will be next...and I was wondering why it felt like it didn't spool as fast!

So now I need to be on the hunt for a good exhaust.

 

Oil filter cap. Probably filter as well.

 

Ditto. Everything else except that exhaust appears to be stock. I bet if the oil filter is aftermarket the fuel filters will be too.

 

And that's a good thing?

 

I've heard (read) that those aftermarket air filters are bad.

 

Need to use oem filters. Need to get you an oem oil cap as well.

 

Hows the coolant level???

 

To avoid any possible problems, go back to OEM filters and cap

 

Ok...OEM filters and OEM cap. Got it.

Coolant level is full. I actually looked at that today.

 

Remember min is the new **full** just FYI. I didn't know that until just a few days ago

 

No not really. The general consensus seems to be OEM filters every where including air intake.

 

What does that mean? Why?

 

Use the minimum line on the degas bottle as the new full line. If the coolant is at the full line on the degas bottle it can puke.
