I can't believe as much as I have read about (and purchased to install tomorrow w/new South Bend Street Dual Disc) the 6. 7 damper that I havent posted this idea.
A couple of months ago, one of our service techs attend a school at the chrysler tech center in pittsburg.
one of the side bar conversations that came up was the use of aftermarket filters and intakes on our trucks.
the trainer told our tech that chrysler, along with general motors and maybe ford as well just did a major study on air filters.
one note was that most of the "high peformance" filters do not offer the filtration of the mopar factory filter and most of the aftermarket filter do not offer the flow. We have seen several check engine lights caused by napa air filters
the trainer also gave josh, our tech, a little tip that some of the deisel service trainers (who are all really gear heads just like us, but get to experiment on the factorys dime) was to install a factory 6. 7 air filter in our 5. 9 trucks.
the 6. 7 filter has better filtration than the 5. 9 filter and offers 400 more cfm of flow.
it is my understanding that the only change is that you must install the lower section of the 6. 7 air box (i'm sure there plenty of stock boxes that could be paid forward)
I've got a buddy/customer with an extra, I plan to try it and will try to report on any changes. there will be no dyno reports but I travel from covington, va to birmingham twice a month, same route, same stops, same speed (as fast as i can get away with)
Has anyone else heard of this or tried it, i did a forum search before posting in an attempt to prevent duplication.
thoughts?
