Oh wow. Someones age is showing. LOL
Kinda reminds me when my youngest boy and I went to see Bootsy Collins. Funkadelic y'all.:chewie:

From the guy who started the "how old are you" thread! You still got me beat, old timer...J/k! Love me a funky jam, though. Even if it's about counting to 12 (thought @Galante & @iamdub could use the help). Let's just say I have had more than one audition where multiple older black dudes look at me like, "Wtf?!" and then say, "you're hired." maybe just the genes... My dad was born and raised in SA. Dunno, you feel it or you don't. Boots and Larry own it. Check out Oteil Burbridge. Damn....

I usually use ac delco. My mechanic was fixing an oil leak i couldnt do myself and he secided to change the filter. He used a cheap car quest filter. When i got my truck back my pressure which was normall lowest at 35 was dropping down to 10 at idle. I changed the filter to a k&n and all is good now.

I just read your other thread about ticking and was going to tell you that after reading this post to go back to am AC Delco and see if your ticking stops.

That's strange... my ticking started with an oversized K&N oil filter and I put an ACDelco back on and the ticking went away for a while but ultimately came back so I guess perhaps it was just a coincidence. My ticking would only start after about 20-30 mins of idling.

Used a K&N at my last oil change as im trying to diagnose a fluctuating oil pressure before I replaced the sensor it would drop to 0-5 at idle and increase with throttle. After the oil change and new K&N it seems to hold no lower than 20 at idle and starts in the morning are alot smoother. however I did have my BB tune the same day and my idle was bumped to 600 which could be helping, either way im happy

I quit using K&N oil filters after I had one fail on my old truck. Purolator pure one or Mobil 1 only. No more troubles.
