The main problem on a K&N filter is the oil in them gets into the maf and other sensors.
The newer the truck the more it will affect it.
Was the one you put in well oiled or dry?
Was it just a drop in or a cold air intake setup.
Is the air intake hoses good and tight.
If you have a good scanner I can post some test for that code if it would help you.

Yeah, I'm going to stick the paper filter back in with the next tank to see. Oddly enough, it seems to have gotten better since I cleared the code--that's just a guestimation at this point though.--and luckily the code hasn't reappeared since.

It was just a drop-in filter, brand new; factory oiled. All the hoses are tight. Unfortunately I was just borrowing a code reader, but thanks for the offer.

dmbrisket, do you mean a real problem like a pooched MAF or should I be looking for bigger problems?

Guess i'll wait and see (and hope)
