guage on air filter box

[strokin'_tatsch]

what would make the little gauge on the air filter box break? i noticed it the yesterday when i put my new grille in. i wrapped it with A LOT of electrical tape and called it good, but was just wondering what would make it do that. thanks!

Age, heat and vibration would be my guess.

Just exactly how hard did you hit that fence???

 

[strokin'_tatsch]

not very hard. just left a dent in front part of hood and a couple of scratches down the side. not sure how fast i was going when i actually hit the fence, but the post were only like 1ft in the ground and they gave pretty easily.

does that gauge need to be plugged in because when i did my diy intake i just took it out ... is that a problem

Are you talking about the air filter minder (is a green/yellow/red guage to remind you of a plugged air filter) or are you talking about the AIT (air intake temp/has wires on it) sensor?

the air filter minder... the little guage that sticks out of the air filter box, which has a spring in it and a rubber button thingy at the top. i never noticed it after i hit the fence until the day i put my new grille on.

That gauge does not need to be plugged in when you do your diy intake, that is not a problem, just take it out ... in fact the air filter minder is not accurate at all.

ok. well i'm probably going to go buy my air filter this week so i can do my intake, so i guess i'm good to go
