CTSSS Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 So i found a killer deal on CL for an intake but he said his truck was an 05 with the 5.3. I know on K&N website it says this should be the 57-3050 and my 03 needs the 57-3023. My question is what is the real difference between the two? can i get it to fit? cuz for 50 bucks i cant pass it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 The 05 doesnt have the provision for the clutch fan that you do since it has e fans. I have seen people run the newer style CAI on their older per 05' trucks just fine. They just trimmed the shroud to fit the pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTSSS Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 so your saying that it will work fine, just may have to trim it to fit between the fan shroud and the throttle body? and if i got e fans i wouldnt have that problem?

Correct.. If you had/have e fans you would not have any trimming to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTSSS Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 nice. thank you so much guys, and the angle on the tube will still be right to put it in the guard around the filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierra ss Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I know for a fact that an 06 k&n intake will not fit a truck that has a mechanicle fan or mine would be on my 03. Just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
