Where is my oil going????

[jttrucker]

well Im gonna get it to Lance Schupe over at pocetello, he is the diesel mechanics proffesor at the colledge over there and does real good work with no BS. He moonlights after class lol. Anyway he just built an engine for a buddy of mine who I weld pipe with and his new engine is problem free and gettin the $#!+ beat out of it on a pipeline rightaway in North Dakota. I think Ive done all I can do so Im Gonna let him take a stab at it and if it needs rebuilt well it is what it is. Thanks for all the help though fellas, I really appreciate it.

I have also heard bad things about the K&N on a diesel.My question is what about the other brands such as AFE or S&B that use an oiled filter element.Do they have the same issues as K&N?

There is not one single good reason to run anything by the OEM 4" filter on a 3rd gen.

Thats what I am running, always had a sucked up filter indicator with 2 inch filter switched to a 4 inch drop in and it has never budged since.

I read an article on TDR that basically said the Mopar 4" and stock air box was good to 500hp.. They concluded any performance gains made with the K&N style systems we negligible, and you get a shitty filter to boot.

Exactly.
