Engine noise (

Ford f150 - 258K+ miles.

Engine makes a "swooshing" or "rushing" sounds when accelerating and the tac jumps up then falls back to where it should. (It kind of reminds me of back-in-the-day when we were kids and would turn the breather lid upside down and you could hear the air breather louder)

I noticed this just after swapping out the air filter.

???????suggestions?

Did you get the air box lid back on properly?

Yup, that was the first thing I thought of and it still sounds like that, but I couldn't figure it out - thus the posting. It also seems to come and go. I also wonder if I had a brain fart and put the wrong one in, but don't think I did. Its the barrel shaped one.

Similarly, I have read/heard alot about the $50 roadhog air filters, but I drive this old truck alot on dusty gravel roads and was wondering if they would be good for this.

Thanks for you assistance.

Well now that hunting season is here and I am driving it daily - I believe that this is the problem. It is somewhat intermittent but I have also noticed that it slips some when going into overdrive.

Oh well :-|
