| K and P Engineering For us 5.0 V8 guys, the filter is an S17 The bad? This product carries a price that will bring a tear to your eye when your paying for it. The Good? 1. I can't find one negative review. 2. Over on the YellowBullet the big guys use them, and swear by them. 3. High flow, and rated at a consistent 35 micron filtering. 4. Re-usable filter media (Better be for that price). 5. Here's the big one for me: The filter media comes apart easily and can be checked for engine bits (specifically bearing material) Cutting up filters is time consuming for me and usually ends up in a blood sacrifice.

The old shocks were the same diameter, but much harder to push in than the Monroematics. I was reluctant to install them at first, but am glad I did now. The ride is much softer now and many noises I used to hear from the undercaraige have been reduced significantly. I was even considering getting solid urathane engine & tranny mounts before I installed these. If your 1st gen...
