Posted February 18, 20169 yr I wanted to give a Big shout out to BBHD. Thanks a ton for the BHAF, the truck screams not, well not faster, but it sure sounds good in the cab! You're a real standup guy, let me know the next time you are coming through and I will get you lunch or a beer or whatever. Nick
February 18, 20169 yr You too man! I'm glad it worked out! I'm sure your truck is breathing a bit better and best of all no cracked air box
February 18, 20169 yr Owner BHAF are a good filter for the 24V trucks. Much better than the stock air box.
February 18, 20169 yr Owner Most likely brittle with age and just the pure flexing of the plastic gave up.
February 18, 20169 yr Author She screams now. Might get a little old when towing, but man does that VGT sound good........
February 18, 20169 yr Staff Knowing how you guys love power modes you probably collapsed the dang thing and cracked It Just don't use K and N filter or your truck turns into a shop vac. Edited February 18, 20169 yr by JAG1
February 18, 20169 yr Author haha My coworker is one of those old guys that "swear by K&N" doesn't matter what you say, answer is always " must of oiled it wrong"
February 18, 20169 yr Owner Tell him that you'd be will to test your BHAF besides his K&N filter in a independent lab test of the two filters. Tell him loser pays for the test. I'm pretty sure he'll be singing another tune.
February 18, 20169 yr Staff I know what you mean.... I learned a long time ago to let the lady be right even when you know she is wrong.
February 19, 20169 yr Staff The makers of these oiled filters don't tell consumers the problems they can produce. The oil that comes off the filter can coat the sensors and cause erroneous readings. These readings will diminish power and fuel economy, increase tail pipe emissions and cause poor drivability to the point the engine will not stay running. These problems readily occur not so much in the diesel engine but in vehicles with air mass meters.
February 19, 20169 yr Author Yea I had maf issues in a old Bmw due to k&n since then nothing but paper for me.
February 19, 20169 yr Owner Just like the Dakota I just do the manifold gasket the amount of debris in the manifold was unreal. Previous owner had a K&N.
February 19, 20169 yr My 96 with a V10 had a K&N and the motor dropped a valve at 145k. I dont know whether that caused it or not, I had to trade it and get another truck right away. That truck pulled my trailer really good. But you could not pull past a gas station. 4.5 mpg towing and about 12 mpg empty. I am glad gas was only a buck a gallon back then.
