OK so I just recently acquired an '06 b2300 and in the process of doing regular maintenance added the aforementioned filter. Now, when I gave the instructions a once-over it stated to use the provided gasket on the airbox lid for exploders and mountaineers but not for rangers/ b-series pickups. I followed the instructions as this warning was repeated a number of times and even printed in bold letters in one place.
Is there really any kind of difference between the airboxes for these models that would necessitate leaving the gasket out? I'm curious, as the instructions state that I'll cause damage to the engine, etc. just by using the gasket. Just want to make sure I'm not sucking any air past the filter, as i spend a great deal of time in the desert and it gets dusty as hell out here. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
