I just took off my intake because I'm getting my truck fixed, I have a Proguard 7 Stage 2. There was major dust on the inside of my intake tube, especially right before the turbo. Needless to say I'm extremely p*%sed off about this on my brand new truck. When I first put on the filter I noticed the ends were still white, so I applied some extra oil along these areas. I also have the sock that fits over it.
Why did this happen? These forums claim these filters to be the best, however this is unacceptable. There should be no dirt on the inside of the intake. Is there any chance that some dirt got in through the sensor foam gasket supplied by afe? The filter is clean by the way.
As a background, I have afe on a 6. 0L (PG7), 7. 3L (PG4), and the 5. 9L (PG7). I have had little or no problems with the other two.
How many others have had this happen to them? I do not want to put this system back on, however if they are working for everyone else maybe its a simple fix such as sealing off the MAF sensor or oiling up a little more. Give me some opinions out there please.
