anyone use the semi truck air filter

[muddyblzr]

i see alot of diesel guys use this and was wondering if anyone had done it on a gas truck. i've been thinking about putting on on mine instead of bucking up for the afe stage 2 or something similar.
pro's or con's
it's a huge filter



or should i just get a full intake kit like afe or volant?

My question would be how dense are the fibers? I don't know jack about diesels. Do they "suck" more than gas engines do...so to speak?

[muddyblzr]

never thought about that. i'd guess with a turbo it would be i have no idea.
my friend just put one on his powerstroke and if it could work good for my gas 6.0 it woudl save me a few hundred dollars
as they only cost about 30$

The filter is only a piece of the puzzle, take a look at your stock intake, between the air box and the intake manifold on the engine. A larger filter will do little when there is a larger restriction further on...

i can make the rest of it. or buy just the tube from a company.
my biggest concern was make sure the map would work with this
as far as it fitting together

[muddyblzr]

after lookin around looks like i could get the airraid intake tube to help the rest of the system. just gotta amke sure that monster filter will even fit

Semi truck filters are pretty dense...I think this mod would hurt you

[nlawson5.3]

yes i would say it would hurt u because diesels need the most filtration!!

i guess it would filter better, but it would probably flow about the same as stock. if you want cheap just get a drop in k and n and cut the box.

Yes these type of filters are pretty dense due to the enviroment that a heavy duty truck has to work in. They have to be able to filter out alot of dirt due to the suction of these engines. We use these on f-750's at work on cat engines. I don't know if it wll fit in your engin bay though. it would be cheaper and less work to get a used k&n instead of having to modify your engine bay in order to make it fit.
