K&N Air Filter Question

[JBoss]

Anyone put in a K&N air filter replace from the AC original? Did it through any codes? I did it on my HD diesel and I had all kinds of codes which had me remove it…

Also any performance difference?

I did the full K&N intake. It didn't throw any diagnostic codes, but I did get a check air filter warning on my instrument cluster, similar to a seatbelt warning that comes up if you aren't buckled. You can go into your display settings on your instrument cluster and turn off the warning indefinitely. That's all I had to do on mine, and still no check engine lights to this day. Just a filter replacement might not even give you that much grief.

Did an S&B CAI without thrown codes(as

clstark7 stated)​

but you'll want to disable the "filter life" in the dashboard display and keep track in service records or a date sticker w/mi. on your filter.

I went with the easy compromise. I'm running the drop in K&N oiled air filter. The TB comes with an oversized intake system so I spent $75.00 for a lifetime filter. No codes, no hassles, no problems, not $500 bucks. I just wanted to know I had the best filter for engine protection as I am often in hateful dusty desert conditions. Now it seems like "does it provide better protection" is as debatable as "does K&N ad HP?" There are YouTube videos showing even the drop in filter can gain 5HP on a dyno. Who knows? I don't feel or even hear any difference. This is my first oil filter Im not even sure it was the right choice. I would love to hear more from you guys.

you missed plugging something in or have a vacuum leak somehow.

the filter itself is questionable, never run an oiled filter.

that said, K&N does FLOW but it also filters less in doing so...well proven over the years. they spend $$$ on advertising.

Thats what Im afraid of, less filtation. It may not have been the best choice for my type of use.....

unless you are heavy dusted or gravel roads...you will fine. just keep it cleaned and serviced at every oil change
