aFe Intake Kit

It makes noise, not so much power.

cleaned the bonnet alarm switch , then tackled the rear wiper.
stripped plastic trim off the tailgate, to find nothing wrong with the motor to look at, apart from in the past I've had a reversing camera fitted, (left over wires,) wiper still wouldn't work ,
out of frustration at wasting my time I hit the wiper motor on the nut on the outside with my screwdriver and it worked
go figure

On a 3 ton truck no you probably won't notice much with just the intake - I noticed the most gains after I flashed with the Conforti Shark Injector, in addition to the 4.8iS axle back exhaust.

I also prefer the Dry filters from AFE, no oiling is awesome

When nothing else works---it's hammer time.

Very nice. For CDV was it difficult? I noticed while doing uuc ssk that out CDV is on top of tranny rather than e46 is on bottom side... and did you order a CDV screw from ess or did you just take out the stock and hook up the line?

All of 10 minutes while on a lift, maybe 15 minutes if you need to jack it up. There's nothing in the way, plenty of clearance.

Removed the CDV and just rehooked up the line. Gravity bled for a few. Did the same on my E39 - love the pedal feel and behavior now. No more 1st to 2nd bounce.

Great, can I do the bleed by myself or do I need a partner to help?
I'll be doing this soon.
I just have to tackle my alternator.
