Kwik 6637 Mod Complete
I was gonna put this in Kwik's original thread but it had 243 messages in it...
I stopped by NAPA yesterday and picked up my 6637 filter, $31.03. Had to wait till today to put her in. Total time including clean up was about 20 minutes. It would have been faster but getting the intake tube to fit over the filter was a nightmare. I took the tube off the motor and with the filter sitting with it's "top" on the ground, I slid my arm through the duct and used my fingers to spread the duct over the filter flange. It went on super easy! I was even able to reuse the factory clap with a minor mod to the duct, clipping off the small clap alignment protrusion. I tucked the inlet temp sensor under the filter.
I would like to give a big "Thank You" to Kwik and all the others for posting in Kwik's original post!

frankgh, take a look at how I did mine. If you look to the botom left you can see where I poked it thru one of the air box mounting holes. If you trim the hole just right it will poke thru and give it a 1/4 turn and shes there. Just an idea.

How did I know I would have to explain that.
Relays for:
-Front spot lights
-Rear spot lights
-EBPV disable
-EBPV enable
-T/C enable
Since my van turbo install one of the EBPV relays is inop and the other runs my air horns.

Hi all,
Have not been on in a while But I also Must extend a thanks to Kwik for the filter mod I put it on the truck and it actually gave me a little mileage increase not much but I count even the smallest increase a good thing.
Do the sensor I did a little zip tie right to the filter that has worked well ( kinda wondered what everyone else had done )
And the sound is the best part of it all.
Thanks again Kwik.

Yeah, I'm new here and my first post was the Woosh sound when it shifted gears (I tought it was something wrong) now with the filter it's really really noticable. Thanks for the info. and idea. I'm still curious as to why some trucks make the sound and some don't?

Help me out here, will the sensor work if is not inline? Should the sensor be placed between the filter and/or along the intake tube? Only asking because I have 35 bucks burning a hole in by pocket, and an hour of free time today. I wanted to do this for awhile and I wondered if the sensor is needed after the mod??
