Air filter

[Nick H]

I would like to know the best air filter to put in my truck. What choices do I have as far as non oiled. It is a stock 98 24 v auto 3500 that does quit a bit of towing. I have aways used the fleet guard, but have read since then that with out the pre-filter foam it does not meet the holding specification.

I use and like the Baldwim # 2820 BHAF I have had the K&N in the stock air box and found it a pain cleaning & oiling, with the BHAF you just use it up and through it away. You can get this style filter at most fleet or truck parts houses like NAPA.

Thanks for the info.

When I first got my truck, the first thing I did was replace the air filter. I wasn't ready to buy a K&N or an equivalent yet so I just went to Advance and got a stock box OEM Purolator filter. It does have a foam prefilter and it only costs about $14 with tax down here. If you don't want to go high performance and spend about $100 for a fancy air filter setup, keep it simple and go with the Purolator, nothing wrong with them.

I just got some Fleetguards from Geno's and no foam, why?

The foam thing is interesting. I bought my very first replacement filter from the dealer. Guess what no foam!!! Looks just like the filters that I bought later from cummins with no foam!

Where is this 'foam spec'????
