Ok Guys, I was finally able to take some pictures. Thus far I seem to notive he truck being lighter on its feet especially when accelerating from a stop. Not very sure how accurate that is as I have not been using the truck that often. My wife seems to agree that its a bit quicker. Can't really tell much difference at higher speeds but then again I did not really step on it. I will follow up with mileage results in about a month when I fill the tank again.

 

Thanks for the pics, that is a whole lota filter there! Nice job.

 

Ok my mileage tests are in and they are not good at all.

After the first tank full I got a terrible 13.75 miles per gallon.

When I calculated my mileage in the past it was in the upwards of 16 miles per gallon and even at 17mpg. However, I did drive quite a bit highway back when I purchased the H3 and now my commute is all city driving. I drive about 7 miles to work and its pretty much all stop and go in most part. Can it influence my mileage that much ? My wife is driving this month but she only drives about 5 miles to work and its also pretty much city driving, she does take RT 46 for a bit but for most part that section is slow driving/ligths/turns and traffic after work.

If it doesn't improve I will try to put back my old filter in there and test it again. I kept the old just in case as it did not look that bad after 20K miles on it but I will try to clean it a bit.
