    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    Ken, Yes I did. Go back to page three about halfway or two thirds way down the page I posted pix. I can't remember exact price off top of my head, but it was around $40. And it's a one time purchase. I still have the Napa Gold filter and if I EVER get a magnahelic gauge, I PROMISE to write...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    Go back and check what this Russian Tank Clock just went for! I was personally astounded. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6598759387&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT $105.50 (+9.50 s&h).... well, no russian tank clock for me at this price... But I have bookmarked it as a...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    DrFoster is working on getting me some out of an aircraft. I think. If he's not successful, then I guess I will just go out and buy some. I HATE doing that. I'd much rather recycle some older gauges from some other military application. We will see. And I GOTTA GET one of those 'Russian...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    Well, I just HAD to report this. Again, I've ONLY owned this truck for a little under two weeks. I start it up every morning and let it run for about twenty minutes, or until it appears to be running 'smoothly' FOR THE FIRST TIME, she started on the FIRST push of the start button. I will...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    Wick, Thx. It was way easy. Just me, my K&N filter and my box cutter. Worked great. Took three tries to get it to fit properly. First was without mods. The second was with the bottom cut out. The final install was with the bottom cut out AND the top cut down. It just slid right in place...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    Well, I'm NOT trying to start ANYTHING. The only reason I started this thread is because this is WHAT I'm doing. That's all. AS PROMISED, here are several pix. Picture 1 is the first hint that something's different in my stock air cannister. Picture 2 show how and where the K&N filter...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    Lee, No offense, but you are talking about an industry that calculates whether or not a given failure will cost 'X' in lawsuits. As long as it doesn't exceed their ability to make money, a given number of customer deaths and resulting dollar losses via lawsuits are 'acceptable'. The American...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    I told my wife she can BURY ME in my 1991 Suburban... My company name is "White River". Our 'children' are Great Pyrenees, which is what's in that logo. Whiter River is what they call an avalanche up in the high country. One day I saw all our 'kids' running down a slope and it reminded me...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    Kenneth, While I do understand the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. I come from the 'there is ALWAYS a better, easier way to do something'. Otherwise we would all still be riding horses and shoveling... well, you know ... I LOVE all the old iron out there. And it's MY opinion that...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    Lee, I DO UNDERSTAND where you are coming from. And we each march to the beat of the drummer of our choice. Having said that, the US MILITARY is currently putting Royal Purple through it's 'testing program' and have been for several months. I have NOT heard the outcome yet. BUT if the US...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    Kenneth, My gunsmithing instructor had a saying that always stuck with me. "If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying" And I always liked Richard Petty's definition of luck. "95% preparation, 5% opportunity" Sounds like we ALL subscribe to both those concepts...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    I concur with what everyone has said here. You seem to skip over the part of "30,000 miles change the filter". Pick your number, you will still be purchasing a second filter. I realize paper IS normally cheaper. I spent $44 for the K&N and it's going to take at least a week to get here...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    Allow me, if you will, a couple of observations from what you've said. 1) K&N is a GOOD REUSABLE FILTER. 2)Freeing up the intake and exhaust on a diesel will lower your exhaust gas temperature, and it CAN allow you to inject more diesel into the cylinders, which WILL create more power, but it...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    THAT'S WHY I use RP and ProLong. It negates ANY 'dirt' in the oil. And in more than fifteen years of using K&N I'VE NEVER blown an engine. EVER. And I average one speeding ticket every two or three years. I drive my vehicles hard and nasty. Until now, because I AM gettin older and my...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    Bjorn, I am currently running what appears to be a new Napa Gold filter. I don't know if that's a standard filter or not. It's what was in the truck when I purchased it from Jeff. Having said that, the FIRST thing I do with ANY vehicle we purchase is to change the air filters over to K&N and...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    98hd, No pissing contest AT ALL. While you don't LIKE Banks business practices, his records stand out for themselves. And for me THEY STAND ALONE. As I said in the previous thread, I do agree that there are unscrupulous business people that have worked for the Banks company over the years...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    98hd, I've used K&N filters in ALL my vehicles for the past 15 years. Gale Banks, holder of the WORLDS RECORD for the fastest diesel truck (222 mph) ONLY uses K&N. That's GOOD ENOUGH for me. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3472&highlight=turbo+diesel...

    K&N Air filter for the deuce

    OK, after spending about twenty minutes discussing air filters with Edgar at K&N tech support, we both concur that the correct K&N air filter to use on the deuce will be the RU-3260. The NAPA GOLD number on the filter currently in my deuce is 2837 14699N3 ( it MIGHT be U3 as I can't read my own...
