I'll be back. The truck didn't work properly.

Well it was easy to install but I uninstalled it again after a few days. My first problem was that the air filter fell off several times. The first 2 times I thought maybe I misplaced the clamp or didn't tighten it enough. When it fell off the third time I decided to use brake cleaner to get rid of any excess oil that was stuck in the filter, thinking it might help. After reinstalling the filter for the 4th time in 2 days after driving about 20 miles total, I decided to just glue the air filter to the mounting surface. This solved that problem. Then I noticed that while driving, the engine noise was much louder than normal between 1200 and 2000 rpm, but not in a good way. I could tell that the engine was not working properly and the truck had no power. Not sure if the pipe size is different from the factory reset air/fuel calculations or something. I spoke to my mechanic friend and he said the only way he knows how to fix it is to set up an aftermarket repair. While the car is under warranty this is not an option. I removed this kit and reinstalled the original airbox. So I will go back and order a reduced power replacement. I'll try K&N soon. I would not recommend this for a factory truck that is still under warranty.
