Re: Spectre cold air intake

I would post a picture of mine except it must have been on my old phone. Anyway I run the same kit on my avalanche as Brule. In my personal opinion they a better kit all the way around then both K&N and airaid. I have run all three kits now (not on the same rig) and I am far more impressed with the ...

Yes I started (well Brule and Walt) facebusa.org its a site that hasn't picked up a lot of steam yet but I'm hoping it will. Despite the name the site is for all things with 2 wheels and motors.

I didn't scratch the inside of the axle tube and I used RTV sealant on the outside of the seals.

Also make sure you are using a good seal. We all know you can buy seals on the cheap but that doesn't mean they work right. National, timken, CR, or original equipment GM. These are the products should be using.

I suppose that would work but I can't see it ever really having a problem again. I'm just glad we caught it. I was already to point the finger at the shocks and head home until I got them ordered. Luck of the draw I guess that I decided to rock it side to side before jumping off the bumper.
