I decided to take care of a small maintenance item. A previous owner had the OEM air filter on the Cadillac replaced with an Airaid cold air intake. I purchased the car in 2016 when it had 11,700 miles on the odometer. I have no idea when it was installed but now that it has 18,617 miles on it I wanted to clean it. I don't expect it's filthy but I replaced the original cabin air filter and it wasn't filthy but definitely needed to be replaced.

I put a CAI on the PT Cruiser when I replaced all the accordian intake ductwork with smooth aluminum tubing so I expected it to be a simple process of loosening a clamp. The filter is hidden under the metal cover, fastened with four button head allen screws.

Once I had the cover off, the filter is right there. Unfortunately there's no way to pull it out through the top. The plastic covers pop right off but no matter how many I removed, it is obvious the housing has to come out as well.
Filter Cleaning 6.jpg
Turns out the housing has two fasteners holding it place so it wasn't that big a deal. However, the area nearby looks like a plastic graveyard. Also, whoever installed this thing failed to tighten one of the worm screw clamps but also failed to follow Mike's (@zmotorsports) instructions on using Syl-Glyde on the rubber (it was like they were glued on). As long as I was in there, the plastic got a thin coat of 303 Aerospace Protectant.

I am totally spoiled living where I do. I spent a huge amount of time washing the dust and dirt that has accumulated. on the pieces I removed.
Filter Cleaning 3.jpg
I took the mass airflow sensor off the Airaid Intake Tube so I could wash it inside and out. Sadly there wasn't much of anything inside the tube but it got its own coat of 303.
Filter Cleaning 5.jpg
I went looking for the filter element cleaning and oiling kit I had for the PT Cruiser setup but took a deep breath and Googled the Airaid instructions and printed out a full color copy. Turns out this filter isn't supposed to be oiled. The end of the filter has a reminder on it.
Filter Cleaning 4.jpg
All you have to do is spray household cleaner like Simple Green or Formula 409, neither of which are in my collection. Used Purple Power instead and let it dry out in the sun. I was hoping to find some gum or carbon buildup in the throttle body so I could spray some Berkebile Gum Cutter on it. Decided it wasn't really needed.
Filter Cleaning 2.jpg
Put it all back together and of course I dropped the washer that goes on the second mounting bolt and it made the sound of falling all the way down and out of sight, probably laying on the plastic shield behind the front splitter. I'll retrieve it when I change the oil (changed it 1,148 miles and 22.5 months ago).

Tis a happy thing in the end. The market is absolutely crazy, but this is the world we live in. I'm fortunate enough to have found a great paying job during covid, I'll manage just fine. It certainly hurts the ego knowing what I could have afforded 3 years ago with my wages. I wish I had taken better pictures of one of the houses we looked at. Litteral dog feces on the kitchen floor, moldy basement, uneven floors and generally looked like it had been squatted in for a number of years. Crazy what some people think their houses are worth.

I have been using CPAP therapy for the past 17 years. I briefly used an Auto CPAP machine, however, I was taken off of it and afterward had a reduced apnea count at a private session. Despite not snoring, I never wake up feeling rested. I experience headaches, and I'm not sure if they are hurting my sleep or my apneas (which then cause me to experience other problems like migraines), but either way, I'm constantly exhausted (months).

You reminded me that I still need to do a deep maintenance job on my truck. With 94,000 miles on the 2012 F-250 6.2L gas engine, I'm sure it has a lot of stuff needed done. Once I get the Subaru of mine registered, I'll put the truck in the garage for the winter and tackle all of it. But first, I need the camaro painted.

Bob, I run the same brand of filter on my Z28, purchased specifically for the "No Oil" designation.

That amount of dust is what I accumulate in less than 12 hours at my country abode :ROFLMAO:...even worse with harvest in full swing!

Thank you Matias! I hope you are enjoying the warm winter weather in your new location.

Hah! :D Sure am, I've got some colleagues that have been discussing winter tires, and I'm wondering why ;)

Put it all back together and of course I dropped the washer that goes on the second mounting bolt and it made the sound of falling all the way down and out of sight, probably laying on the plastic shield behind the front splitter. I'll retrieve it when I change the oil (changed it 1,148 miles and 22.5 months ago).

Throttle body looks good, and with your attention I think it will stay that way. If the washer is metal, you can use your magnetic tool. If you wait for the oil change, I would put a post-it on the new oil can or some tool used, just to remind myself of the washer, so I wouldn't forget.

I am completely jealous of having a sink in the garage for washing those parts. That looks like it would be so much more effective cleaning the dirt off plastic panels, compared to wiping them down with paper towels. I'm glad you're able to get some work done in the garage, without any heavy lifting!

Bob: I’m not sure if you showed it here or an another thread showing all your air tools with their 5 or maybe 6 foot hoses attached to them. OMG that is so clever and your thumb and forefinger must be stronger than anyones. Speaking of that have you been using the gyro?

I just poked my head in to see how your health was doing too and if your doing maintenance on your cars I’m guessing you’re doing ok. Yes?

Enjoy your weekend!!

Sink in the garage is handi too! It may, or may not save you a potty trip into the house with greasy shoes…..😜

@Wreckster23, good to hear it's a positive and it's great your daughter is still in your life. I think a lot of things rated "Excellent Condition" are referring to the condition of the feces.
That's not sad at all! The inside of the tube is supposed to be clean! Hooray! :D
@Squankum, you're right. I lived with carburetors for so long I expect to see the evidence of backfiring. When the backfire has to get through the whole intake plus a super-or turbo-charger, the evidence isn't there.

@Pearlbee, my CPAP is a fixed pressure type (once adjusted by the doctor) and I'm still using the one I got 12 years ago. I do wake up rested but my slow heart rate tends to make me less energetic.
Yea, Zillow says my house is worth $120,000 more than I paid for it 5 years ago. Real Estate has blown up for sure.
You reminded me that I still need to do a deep maintenance job on my truck. With 94,000 miles on the 2012 F-250 6.2L gas engine, I'm sure it has a lot of stuff needed done.

Cody, to me our house isn't worth a penny more than what we paid for it 26 years ago but apparently Zillow thinks it's worth almost four times that. Selling sounds like a great deal until you try to replace it. Then you pay four times the property taxes on the new-to-me feces farm. Florida mandates a maximum 3% increase in the property tax while you remain in the 'homestead.'

Oh boy, that's the black hole of vehicle ownership. You have to maintain the fleet and it always seems the fleet takes more time as it ages. I keep a cover on the '72 Corvette so I am unaware of all the work I need to do to put it back on the road.
Bob, I run the same brand of filter on my Z28, purchased specifically for the "No Oil" designation.

Marc, I just Googled the filter and it appears I can buy a replacement for $108. So glad I don't have to spend money on oil for it (the oiled model is $69).

The Cadillac came with a custom fitted cover (with CTS-V logos) that I may have to use when the car is in the garage. Then again, dusting the engine off every 6 years isn't that big a deal.
Bob, is there a chance you'd come up and help me do the maintanence on my fleet? I'm so far behind, and you do it so incredibly well. I'm kind of jealous. Ok, I'm totally jealous.
Kirk, as long as your fleet is on the same 30-month schedule I could probably help. Wait, I think the PT Cruiser is coming up for its every 20 year re-paint (now that it sits outside all the time).

Matias, I vaguely remember changing to winter tires but the last time I did that was in 1975. Only two of the four vehicles have tires that can be rotated and even those are same-side, front-to-rear because they are directional tread. The Cadillac has directional tires and the fronts are a different size from the rear. Same with the '72 Corvette.

I tried the magnetic tools but there's a lot of metal lines down there and I heard the dull thud of it hitting something non-metallic.
Filter Cleaning 9.jpg
A reminder is a great idea, especially for me. I taped the washerless bolt to the oil filter box. It might take me a few minutes to make the connection but it's better than hoping I remember.

Rick, I put a tiny little sink in my first garage in New York and enclosed and insulated the plumbing so it wouldn't freeze. In addition to the faucets I tee-d off them with hot and cold hose bibs so I could rinse off the dirty, salty slush that collected under the cars. I can't imagine working on stuff in the garage without a sink. I have four days to do any heavy lifting but then it looks like six weeks of wimping out.

Drives, I showed the collection here back in 2016 (the collection has grown but this is a taste):

I'm afraid my thumb and forefinger are no longer as strong as they once were. Luckily the triggers on the air tools are much lighter than the ones on electric or battery powered tools.

My heart seems to be doing OK the last few weeks but a pulse rate in the 30s has the heart specialist concerned. One of the drugs that treats atrial fibrillation has the side effect of slowing the heart rate. Anything slower than 30 beats per minute usually results in fainting.
Sink in the garage is handi too! It may, or may not save you a potty trip into the house with greasy shoes…..😜
@Mr.zippy, the sink is installed on a 41-inch high cabinet. It's an excellent height for closeup work and really saves my back but it's quite a stretch to use as a potty. The guest bath is a 20-foot walk from the garage sink, making it a less attractive alternative. Don't forget I have a fair number of incontinence briefs leftover for those days I get real lazy.

I'm not one of those people who starts the day with a "what's gonna go wrong today" attitude. As I was rinsing a few things in the garage sink this afternoon, the water stopped running out of the tap. I lived without indoor plumbing and running water in my childhood but I've become rather accustomed to flipping a lever and selecting hot or cold water. Went outside to see if there was a geyser in the front yard in the vicinity of the water meter. No geyser but down the street there was a gaggle of city utility trucks sitting in a large pool of water.

Turns out one of the fine drivers who travel our streets took a little detour and found one of the city's fire hydrants. Snapped the thing completely off the pipe. They restored our water supply in a couple of hours but we're on a 72-hour boil water order. If I weren't going in the hospital this week I might try for the quick weight loss program tainted water provides.

Now that the water is back on I can plug the water heater back in and turn on the sprinkler system for a little lawn moistening tomorrow morning.

We have a saying in Sweden "If it isn't the one (problem) it is the other" meaning there is lots of problems. You seems to have some small problems that you take the right way, using the mindset from my home province here in Sweden "It will settle itself (with some help)"

As I know you uses the best doctors you can find I wish you a fast recovery

Bob, hydrants have a frangible area where they break if they're impacted. They also have a long valve stem, so the water shouldn't gush-out like a Merrie Melodies cartoon, and for protection in below-freezing months, though Boca Raton doesn't have that to concern them, like Poughkeepsie does. I hope Liane doesn't treat you like this: https://www.b98.tv/video/wild-wife/ The poor housewife has her own debacle over a new hydrant placement.

I have a Corey fire hydrant, I bought it during a surplus auction of the city while I was working as a firefighter/paramedic south of your location. Presently it's in the garage, stripped of paint, someday, I'll get around to putting it in the backyard by the pool.

2016 Bob:

I would apologize for the vise brake epidemic but once you catch one, you are going to be hooked for life (unless you already have a giant Baileigh finger brake).

I didn't know such things existed until just now! And now I'm infected!

When I decided to spend more time at GJ a few months ago, I thought, "Will this result in you buying more tools? Oh, pshaw, you've got all that you need by this point..." :D

I'm just getting caught up after being gone for a week Bob. The engine bay in the Caddy is looking good. Nice touches on the maintenance items. :thumbup:

Patrik, a bit of my grandmother's Göteborg upbringing sticks with me. Another saying comes to mind "If money can solve a problem, it’s not really a problem." The water main break is a perfect example. I can avoid drinking contaminated water with money:
  • Buy bottled water ($$$)
  • Boil the tap water ($$)
  • Add 8 drops of chlorine to each gallon of tap water (¢)
You'll never guess which one I chose...

Philip, I kinda figured there was something preventing an Old Faithful episode. There was a fair amount of water on the sidewalk and roadway but nothing you could surf.

I learned early in our marriage the answer to: "What does your wife do for a living" was "Everything that makes my life possible." The rare occasions when she had a paying job outside the home, it cost more than she made. Between sitters, work outfits, gas, take out meals, income tax, Social Security and Medicare deductions there wasn't much left. She usually took a job to pay for something important that she wanted, like new carpeting or furniture. The whole paycheck went toward the item she wanted.

My job didn't involve displayable memorabilia so my electric pencil sharpener and a fancy 3-hole punch sit in cabinets. I did acquire a strip chart recorder in a big cabinet at an IBM surplus auction -- it was about a dollar as I recall. I threw out the machine but kept the cabinet. At one time it housed all of my power tools. Now it holds up a 10-inch miter saw and prevents a lot of dust from landing on the floor.

@Squankum, I wasn't aware the Garage Journal had pimps and dealer hiding everywhere when I joined. That first small gadget or hand tool got me hooked but then they showed me battery powered tools and larger power tools. Before you know it I was running out of space for all the treasures. Wasn't long before I was one of them. You have my deepest condolences.
patlun, we have the same saying in English!

It's hard to top that but... Never Mind.

Mike, thank you for stopping by and thanks for the Sil-Glyde and 303 recommendations. The pool filter has a large o-ring that needs lubricating and the silicone grease I have doesn't cut it.

It's wonderful you can see all those magnificent sights in one week, especially with the ability to see the sights that are off the beaten path. A Camaro cruise ain't half bad either. I don't know how you're going to be able to handle retirement.

While hiking, I used a life straw and it worked like a charm. I mean, I didn't get sick and that was the biggest concern while hiking.

But I was also taught how to filter water using sand, coal, and gravel. But then it was suggested to boil the water afterwards. But looking at the bottle of Bleach, I now wonder if the 8 drops is when using the normal watered-down chloride or the concentrated bottle?

Cody, when we were driving around Alaska there were no water hookups in the spots we camped but we had halazone tablets and a 5-gallon Gerry can filled from streams near the road (100 feet off to the side). Never got sick. A few of our campsites were pretty open.
Bathroom break.jpg
That's what the eyedropper is for. If you scream for less than two minutes, that's the diluted stuff.
@Squankum, in the event the stuff I used isn't strong enough, we have 10 gallons of liquid chlorine for the pool. You don't want to get your nose too close when you open the jug.
I forgot they had their own band.

Tomorrow is the big day. When the doctor said I needed a pacemaker, I got pretty excited. This one is nearby and asking $20,400.

Imagine my disappointment when I realized he was talking about one of these, which I suspect will end up costing about the same.

Bob, I'd be thoroughly disappointed too. Though I doubt I could even turn that around on our pond. I hope you new appliance installation goes easily and well for you. I do take this is one appliance you won't be installing yourself.

Good luck with the new ticker upgrade!

Good luck friend !

Bob, thinking of you and best of health! Pray all goes well!
Best wishes Bob ..........be nice to the nurses.
Thanks to all of you. I expect to do fine. I'm more worried about Liane. She has to drive the nine tenths of a mile from our house to the hospital and back twice today. I may ask the doctor to keep me overnight so she has time to recover before making the second trip to pick me up. On the bright side, the hospital thrift store is across the street and may have stuff that takes her mind off the surgery.

Nurse called me yesterday to go over the process. When she warned me I had to keep my left arm immobile after the surgery, all I said was "That won't be a problem."
