Time for new Air Filter
Time for new Air Filter
Time for new Air Filter...what should I get? I don't want to drop a ton of cash on anything, but I want my cummins to breath. I'll be driving 1000mi/week starting in august, so anything that'll help with milage is worth the money. Any advice appreciated!
thanks,
daniel

My Napa Gold drop in replacement has ~17K on it and the minder hasn't moved. The intake tubing was free of dust and the white paper towel test came up spotless. So it must be doing its job. I checked it the other day right before I changed oil just to see how it looked and it was absolutely filthy, pretty much black and covered with bugs. I went ahead and put it back in though--it is probably filtering better being partially plugged up, and the minder isn't registering any restriction. The stock filter it came with would suck the minder down halfway when it was brand new if I got on it hard! I had the Air Raid drop in and while it flowed great, my silicon and wear numbers were high so I got rid of it. I noticed no more power or MPGs running the oiled filter vs. paper, and feel a lot more confident in the ability of the paper to filter better.

I, too, would like to use the big universal one but haven't figured out how to deal w/ the air intake sensor mounted on the intake tube w/out it looking like poo. Any ideas? Pics would be better
