K&N Blackhawk Cold Air Intake Install on 2019 F150 5.0L

[@EliminatorPerformance]

At 1:40 I mentioned that this filter was oiled, it's actually an oil-free filter! All K&N Black Air Filters are oil-free. To clean this filter, you simply rinse it out with water from the inside out. It is maintenance free.

what size tubing for the SAE 30R7 did you get? 3/8, 1/2, 3/4? I want to order the tubing with this Cold Air Intake so I have everything I need with out having to run to the store in the middle of installation. Thanks for this video.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

@@RebelViking912 at 6:20 you can see the part number on the hose, 4219XL (5/8") Gates PCV hose

[@stevehuang3295]

Thank you for the walk through. I did it with my 9 year old. The only thing that would have been nice to know at the beginning was the possibility of going shopping for a longer tube. I ended up having the same issue on my 2018 5.0, so I’ll have to go back in and adjust it again. It would have been nice to be one and done. Not sure why K&N wouldn’t just provide a longer tube that you could cut to fit.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

@@stevehuang3295 yes hard to believe they cut them shorter, sad to hear it's happening to others. I thought maybe just bad luck with mine.

Nice truck and intake! I had this same model on my 2011 Silverado. I just bought a 2020 F-150 5.0L and was thinking about getting another on for my new truck. HOWEVER in doing my research I found several others that give more hp and tq. I went with the AFE Momentum xp wet filter.

[@waynestefinashen239]

Nice air intake, looks really good in the engine bay. Looks like you were working in a new shop? Very good description of the installation, looks like anyone can do this.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks, and yes this is my friend Jake's shop, shout-out to him for giving me a hand! Also, this install was very easy, anyone could do it with basic tools!

[@ambertoizaguirrejr.6743]

Great video. You did say this was an oiled filter, correct? If so, do they make this kit with a non oiled filter. Also is there a difference between the two? Which is better.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Wow you're correct I did say oiled, but this filter (and all Black K&N filters) are oil free! I will post a pinned comment to address this. Oiled filters are generally used for off-road, where there's more dust and dirt, the oil will help filter out this finer debris!

[@donvoll2580]

Good day Yrs. ago fellow I work for put K&N on 86? Chevy pkup. boy o boy there was a difference. Now I drive alot of back roads extreme dust in summer time, I don't know if they would do there job. We had 1952 IH tractor, in fact all old tractors had oil bath air cleaners. Thanks Do you get better gas milage? Thanks

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Yes, these are lifetime oiled filters, simply wash and oil and reuse, and yes they should improve fuel economy.

[@circlepfarm9729]

Seems pathetic that a company with the name recognition of K&N couldn’t make the right hose length to fit your engine. Not to mention the too short of a piece to go over the throttle body intake.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

$6 for a 2 foot piece and I used half of it so I'm thinking they just cut that piece a little short by accident! It's a great intake though, and very easy to install, I would recommend!

[@garyfraser341]

That truck has a map semsor not a maf as you stated. How big is the aluminum tubing it looks to be 4"

[@jamesalexander4009]

Where did you hook the MAF sensor back up to?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Both fittings are reused on the K&N

[@dimotsapaliaris7762]

Hi I just installed the k&n pflow,is it normal that it make a hight pitch whistle when taking of from stop sing? Other than that all is good ! Thank you dimo

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Yes some tend to have a whistle! All that extra stuff on the OEM intake is what keeps them quiet, but also restricts them. Thanks for watching!

[@redemon5]

Have you done a update on the vehicle, how is it still running I want to install one my self...

[@EliminatorPerformance]

No update yet, plan on it shortly. It runs great, check out my MBRP exhaust install and before/after vid, really makes a difference on the 5.0 with just intake/exhaust. In total I spent like $1100 on intake/exhaust, I think it was money well spent. I will be doing an update on the JLT oil separator as well.

[@jasongtivr6]

What’s the second tube going to the intake? I just got a 2021 and it only have one tube. Assuming the one I have is the crank case tube. Thanks

[@EliminatorPerformance]

One is the PCV (crankcase vent) and the other is an EVAP purge line

[@parkerminotti7256]

Do I need an oil separator in order to use the k+n filter?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

No, absolutely not. However, if you have a newer truck, I'd recommend getting one. I pull about 1 ounce per oil change out of the catch can. That's oil residue that would've gone back through the PCV valve into the engine to get burned off.

[@parkerminotti7256]

@@EliminatorPerformance any other engine mods you’d suggest for a 2018 F150 with a 5.0?

[@XxDjaaaaxX]

Will this fit with an Airaid throttle body spacer??

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Yea I was told it will still fit with the spacers

[@evilarmdevil]

What's the size diameter of the SAE 30R7 hose?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

1/4" ID, 1/2" OD

[@evilarmdevil]

@@EliminatorPerformance you're the best! I've been driving trucks for 40 years and never heard of the oil splitter issue! Thanks buddy, just ordered the 3.0JTL and will install shortly! Keep up the good work, very informative. Marty from Wakefield, Québec 🇨🇦

[@gmcsierra-te5oz]

2012 is The same intake I have the 5.0

[@PENETRATQR]

spend a bit more money and get yourself a UPR catch can, CSS, and crankcase breather.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

The JLT 3.0 has done an amazing job, and I've upgraded to the new EV281 pcv valves so I shouldn't have an issue.

[@shanebrowning8862]

Sounds diesely.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

She whistles a bit lol thanks for watching!
