Done. That was one of the first things I thought of. I’ll check again that the air cleaner housing is all sealed up.

I took the truck over Hoosier pass again today (I drive the pass every day 11,500 feet).

I am no stranger to how hard it is on vehicals to live at altitude. The transmission seems ok. Can’t pull the plow off yet. It’s not even June. Summer is August 3rd. 😃

I wonder if a more open air cleaner would help. I’ve seen K&N up here. But I’m hesitant to move away from the stock air cleaner.

I didn’t realize your altitude, I start to notice a difference over about 8,000 feet.
