Not much new here.
Found out that a dented rear passenger shock and an out of round tire was where my 'bounce' was coming from...nothing bent. Not sure why it was doing it with the Duratracs, maybe one out of round to.
Swapped the wonky tire to the spare and replace the shock and all is good. No more speed bounce.
I blocked the air intake hole in the passenger fender to engine bay.
The way this K&N is it is open in the front. At about 10+ mph its reading the same air temps as it did open. I am thinking CAI is over rated.
Edit ...opened it back up, was getting over 130* at the intake last summer. Sitting in traffic, was 96* outside.
Last thing...
Someone here on T4R.org said they pulled the valve stem cores out of their AirLift 1000 rear air springs and they like how it rode better unloaded.
Thought I would give it a try. Pulled the cores, drilled a small hole in the valve cap and stuffed a little bit of a scour pad, Scotch-Brite, for dust.
Kinda thinking its working a bit like a progressive shock. Harder hits cant push the air out fast so it stays a little firmer. Slow it lets more air out for better articulation.
Been running it like this for a couple months, I like.
...actually worked good like this for over 2 years before i pulled out the air bags, cut open to see if any damage/wear from zero air pressure...nope no damage.
