U My 98 k2500 threw a p0175 code on the way home from work today. There seems to be a correlation between that code and k&n filters on the other forums. I've had a k&n for about a year now with no problems. Also have hollowed out cats for about a year. Anyone else run into this problem? I'm going to try cleaning the MAF sensor and the filter when I get the chance. I'll let you know if that makes it better. Any other suggestions?

I noticed that the coolant and power steering were both low. I filled them both and the light turned off about 100 miles later. Didn't do anything to the air filter of MAF sensor yet. Has anyone had this happen before?

if coolant was low, check the color of your oil (cracked head possibly) and power steering, motor is running hot and using steering fluid for possibly a bad pump
