  If you have a CAI with the K&N, that can lean out mixture, yes. With just a drop-in K&N, you are doing absolutely nothing to the engine except at WOT, because you have a throttle plate regulating air flow anyway. Rainy weather creates a denser fuel charge, so that effect makes perfect sense.

  Make sure your serpentine belt is well routed and wraps around half of the alternator pulley. If the belt doesn't pass between the alternator pulley and the pulley located just underneath the alternator then it will squeak. Mine squeaked after Jeep techs had misplaced it
