What did I do wrong? New intake install

[Kustom Bill]

Ok guys I'm a little confused.

I installed a Aem Brute force intake with a dry filter.
Problem is the filter minder says the filter is dirty or needs to be replaced whatever.

No way is it dirty after a day. Do I need a better filter?

Also do you guys hear a blow off sound sometimes?

I feel so stupid asking these questions.
To me it would seem that the truck is not getting enough air, why else would it say plugged filter.
It still runs great, loud turbo whistle, my wife hates it...lol

Thanks

I know it sucks the minder all the way down and i called AEM on this and they said that it is from such a mass amount of air going into the tube but on the other hand if my truck is over stock modification which it is he would recommend the new bruteforce workhorse HD!!

no worries just clean it when it looks dirty mine been doin that since day one been on for 2 years enjoy the

[awenthol]

hillbilly, the HD is the same as the reg BF, it just has a bigger filter.

BOTH AEM intakes will suck the minder down because they put it in a horrible spot. period...however, since putting the Amsoil filter on mine, it hasn't sucked it down as far

I had the same issues with my AEM. I guess you can call it issues. The first time I heard the hissing sound during tranny shifting, I freaked out thinking my tranny was going. Turns out its nothing more than me hearing the air flow throught the filter. My buddies ex-truck (07 5.9L) did the same thing.

And you must understand the stock filter change meter is that, set up for a stock filter. Pay it no mind. Just take the filter off and blow it out every couple months and youll be fine.

I love my AEM filter.

That noise you hear is turbo bark. Beware.

In case you dont know it's where the compressor wheel starts spinning very quickly for a short period of time and then tries to reverse the spin. Very, very bad stuff.

I hardly ever shift above 2000. I hardly ever run the truck above 2000 for that matter. I also noticed it doing this while pulling a hill with the cruise control on, the truck wasn't lugging or anything. Can you hear this bark with a stock airbox?

Now i'm worried again..lol

Do I need to change my driving style???
