Should I reset the computer after I put a drop in K&N air filter in and Modify my air box, or will it matter?

If I do need to reset the computer, how do I go about that.

yeah, you should reset it. all you do is disconnect the negative battery cable for about 30 minutes, then hook it back up and let the engine idle for about 5 minutes, and you should be good to go.
 






When you let the truck idle after bleeding the memory, make sure it is with all accessories off. Let the motor drop to a normal idle RPM, it might take longer than 5 minutes, maybe 10. This is usually 600-800 RPM. Then go drive the truck for about 15 miles, and be a little hard on the gas.

Probably not, but it won't hurt anything to reset.

Good luck.........
