I was going to have the girl in your avatar do that for me. That way she'll have to put down those two to pick up mine. :D

I just dropped off my Duramax for an oil change this morning. They were throwing it out there to anyone that came in for any type of service. I have an aftermarket filter, so I didn't have them change it. He said the Duramax filter is $76, so it's a good deal.

Thanks for posting this information Raff. Already made an appointment.:)

FYI. I called the dealership(Paradise Chevrolet, Temecula) that I am going to and they said if I just bring in the VIN# they will hand you a new filter and you can put it in yourself. Just thought I would let others know in case they do not have time to take the car in for an appt. and are pressed for time.

If I bring my superduty to K&N will you clean it Rick? ;)

[BowTie Rick]

Of course I would ;) It's real easy, take the old one out, mark a new one out of stock, install the new one. Really though, I use the prefilter socks and usually ditch the truck before I ever have to clean it.

And all these problems were caused by your aftermarket air filter :)

I need to get me some of those prefilter socks. Leaving for Glamis tonight, how good they they work against sand?
PS Still using the same filter I got from you three years ago. :)

They kick a$$ in sand. The sand never even touches the filter, it just hits the wrap and falls away. Only the fine dust gets through the wrap which the filter then handles.
