Two Questions.

I have a 1998 1500 slt v8 5.9. I have 90000 on it. I was changing the air filter the other day and when I took the intake off the motor i noticed a piece of what looked like a seal(cardboard type) sticking out the edge of the ring that you tighten/loosen to replace the airfilter. Is there supposed to be a seal there or not?



I am hearing a whistling noise when I give it gas. I was wondering if this is normal?


I bought the vehicle a week ago and am very pleased with it just unfamiliar with noises they may make?

Anyone?

Yes there is supposed to be a gasket there. I thought it was a rubber gasket not cardboard though.

[EMRJPV]

Well it seemed to be black rubber color just layered like cardboard and brittle.

the whistling noise is your new highflow filter. if you get the throttle body spacer, it will be even more noticible, add a high flowing intake and people will think u got a turbo haha

Yeah, and if you get the throttle body spacer you just wasted your money. TB spacers are useless in our trucks. There is supposed to be a gasket there. If there isnt it will create a whistle.

Where can I get A gasket for it? I tried autozone and other places is it only available at the dealers?

[imtheoneandonlyD]

If you cant find it at any auto stores i would try calling the dealer up. Dont get one of the shitty cork gaskets, go with a rubber one.
