You don't want a K&N filter anyways. The oiled filters have a tendency to foul the MAF. Get a cleanable/reusable dry filter.

yea so i heard. ill probably pick up an ebay filter. this one looks pretty good

i swear i have the longest running swap on this site lol. just relocated from southern cali to henderson nv which is right outside vegas. i cn see the strip from my balcony. once good ol uncle sam pays up ill finally have this thing running. its pretty much ready to go i just have to go down to the local stealership to pick up the starter bolts. i turned the key to make sure everything else was good to go and i have a few issues. fuel pump is not coming on nor am i getting a reading on the dash.. neither is the blower for the hvac. any ideas??

thanks but i went to the stealership and picked em up for $4 a piece. starter installed and wired. now i still gotta deal with this stupid pns switch because its not cranking. this whole time for whatever reason i thought i had to put a ground wire to the starter. i jumped the wire and it engaged but not when i turn the key

SHE LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after i got the starter hooked up i was compelled to get this thing going. i couldnt figure out the pns switch wires so i just ran a hot wire to the solenoid and got it to activate. i figured out the fuel pump issue. gave it some power and it started. im probably going to have to take it to a shop to get the pns switch fixed. also gotta get the exhaust ran and shes done! truck just has open manifolds right now thats why its so loud. also i said ls1 its a 5.3

Nice job.What was the problem you had with the fuel pump?

[myzterray]

theres a little grey plug that comes from under the truck that connects to another plug connected to the fuse block. its what give the fuel pump power and powers the dash gauge. it was one of those minor overlooked things.

I was trying to browse that site for info on the pns switch...couldn't find the PDF that had the info. Hook a brotha up with a link to it?

well theres no pdf for the pns switch. i used several. (back up lamp, starting system, transmission etc) i just looked through all the schematics that had the pns switch diagram and made notes. basically through my research this is what ive found out about the pns switch.

thick yellow wire comes from dash
purple thick wire goes to relay in fuse box
lt green power reverse lights
yellow goes to pns output in c100 connector
pink is ignition
black is ground

so i think once you find those you should be good. my truck is 4wd so i have a second lt green wire that gooes to the tcc and to the tranfer case control module. i cant find my test light right now so i havent been able to find out where im losing power. even with everything hooked up the starter solenoid isnt engaging. so i need to trace the wiring with a test light and figure it out.
