Venting Sound
02, 7.3 stock tranny, Automatic. A
Anybody ever hear a venting sound when their truck shifts from third to fourth when under a load? The sound is similar to the sound you get when when you quick disconnect an air hose that still has air under pressure in the hose (just not nearly as loud and crisp). No one I have talked to has ever heard such a sound.

It did me too when I first installed my AFE. You can control it by easing up a little on the throttle just before the shift if it bothers you.

It's been said a zillion times here, but you might consider canning the K&N. It will not seal correctly and end up dusting your turbo or worse. You'll find a vast majority here will not recommend them.

The filters aren't the big problem it's the way they don't seal up well in the stock boxes and let dirt get by and "dust" the engines.
