Lets see now, 1,000,000 mile Dodge CTD truck featured in the TDR mag. used the stock Dodge filter. Cummins and Dodge recommend stock filter. I think I will use the stock filter. Guess I'm just boring

Lil'Dog, Just playing with your name. I say if it works for you use it. If not, dont. I dont have any idea how the cone type K&N's work. They probably seal better, round edges.

Lil'Dog, LMAO He is not that big, only weighs around 75lbs, but it is all muscle. I swear he moves like a cat and just as fast. Looks like the Dogs that guard the gates of Hell (you know the pictures, I havn't been there yet). But he is the sweetest dog I have ever had . I showed him your post, I could not tell if he was laughing, but he did lick the monitor.

Ok I'll admit I'm a K&N fan , but I am not a fan of their oil for their filters. I have run these filters for years on various Trucks & Motorcycles. The Bikes were Desert Racers & you guessed it sand & lots of it. Never a spec got into any of my motors. My Trucks have been run on the street & have done fine there also. If you chose to run a K&N, do yourself a favor & visit a local Motorcycle shop & pick up some aftermarket fabric air filter oil. The aftermarket stuff has a lot more tack to it & makes the filter much more efficent. My silicone count runs in the range of 4-6PPM with 7. 5K sample intervals. When you service the filter let it COMPLETLY DRY before you oil it & don't over service it (25K under severe service conditions is plenty) Good luck with whatever you choice is

Good tip!!! I think those in severe service, like the dusty backroads, should consider this as an upgrade to their K&N.



Great idea!

Tha's a good idea, but what do you do when the filter will not seal properly around the edges, and starts to fall apart after a while?

 

[Lil' Dog]

Buy an AFE and avoid that ... LOL

sdalton, you seem to enjoy posting nasty remarks about K&N.

Interesting.



For the record, if anybody runs a K&N in a stock box (As I have done for 50,000+ trouble-free miles) you should apply a layer of grease around the inner edge of the box and on the outer edge of the filter, then install the filter and clean up any residue. I also put a layer on the top of the outer edge of the filter so that as the box closes it will seal real good. Loose airbox seals seems to be a Dodge problem and not a K&N problem.

The Dodge air box was made for the stock air filter, so don't blame Dodge for the bad seal of a K&N filter, or any other aftermarket filter. I don't have anything against a K&N, just hate to use grease as a sealer.

Larry, I've ran the same airbox K&N for 170k trouble free miles. 30k more and I'll service it for the second time. My feeling is if I ever went back to a stock filter I'd grease it also.
