Fair, but since it is going to my 27 year old daughter who loves the thing there is both an outside chance and an interest. But you are probably correct, do it once well and be done with it.Do you think you’ll still have the truck in 2050 when it needs to be done again

I'm intrigued ... what $35 Chinese units? Change it with my air cleaner each year?
Kind of surprised it was not in my order history it that looks like it. You need to modify the mount by removing the lower band and expand it with 2” bolts.
Ultimately, I rebuilt the original
Thanks. Looks like I'll just go straight to the rebuild -- doesn't look too difficult (but famous last words).
Not a difficult job at all. The Maple Syrup filters were very close to perfect.
The future of the car is going to include a fair number of trips from 5,000' in Denver to climbing areas in the upper reaches of the RMNP. I thought a functional breather was a good idea.
Reviving this thread. I finally rebuild mine:

Anybody doing this job? Happy to pay the rebuild rate.
Is either a VC120 or GM GENUINE 215153 canister an option to you?
I run the GM Canister in most my 80s but working on a couple that I would like to stay stock.
I don’t have the time or patience to do the Canister rebuild so outsourcing it is my best bet right now for my needs.
Just did mine, DM me if interested.
Best price you found?
I’m about to attempt this fix. How much charcoal do I need?
I just cleaned the original filters with a CDA blower. 2500 miles since rebuild 
Honestly, I used a bag from petsmart there was more than enough and I sort of marked the level of the original inside the can as my gauge.
A bit of speculation but if you simply drill out the bb valve you are probably go to go.

I think there was a 1lb box at Petsmart, mix some of the old stuff with it if that’s not enough. I was getting it in a 12lb bag when I was doing these for people.I just cleaned the original filters with a CDA blower. 2500 miles since rebuild
Also I totally support drilling out the bb and spring. Just grab a 1/4 drill bit and it only takes a sec.
I just rebuilt one for myself this week
Just rebuilt one this week. Used less than half the charcoal I got from the pet store. If you come through Flagstaff the rest is yours.
