Well guys, Im a frequent to the desert, ie: trail running, drylake runs, typical high dust situations. Doesn't help that I live in Las Vegas. (Average 3 inches of rain per year) This year we've only gotten 2 inches of rain. :td: Moving on, I almost threw out my K&N drop in filter because I thought it was bypassing like crazy. So as I cleaned it the last couple times, (Yes, properly oiling it every time) I also cleaned off the throttle plate, and inside of the airbox. So i did a little test. This last time i cleaned the K&N i lightly sprayed around the top of the inside of the airbox lid with K&N oil hoping to see where the dirt is getting in from. COME TO FIND OUT ,:shocked3d: the middle of the airbox lid is deciding to bow out! So for a quick and temporary bandaid, I lined the inside of the top and bottom sealing portion of the airbox lid, intake tube to the box, and tube to the throttle body with marine grease. Yes, probably a bad idea, but it was the only thing i could think of at the moment until i could come up with a solution to my issue. Has anyone run into this before? Has anyone even looked or wondered? You might wanna go check. Anyone have any ideas?

By middle of the box, do you mean where the two halves meet? Where they sandwich the filter?

Yep, exactly.

I never had this problem when I ran a K&N. My only complaint against the K&N is that is does not filter anywhere near as well as stock. Went to a True Flow and now an Amsoil. I love the Amsoil.

Is it possible the filter you have is too thick which is causing the upper lid to bow where it meets the lower half?

I was thinking too thin, I know my K&N was thinner than stock on the edge where it sits. That might explain why they whistle.

Hi T. I did not know Amsoil makes an air filter for Tundra. If you don't mind, what was the part number? I too use Amsoil on all my rides. Thx, HIPPO

Hey Hippo,

The part number on the box EaA237. Hope this helps. I can put you in touch with the guy I bought it off of if you need.
