    yea i saw that as well. it put the air cleaner iin the same location as the stock one for these trucks. less that $100 is great but i dont think that was for the k&n filter tho. i would like to keep my battery in the stock location im just trying to figure out how to run the cables. any idea on how to do this?? i think positive cable goes to battery starter alternator and fuse block. negative to frame and body? also where are you guys grounding the starter?

    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.

    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
