I think unless you live in dustbowl you probably don't need it.

i dont even run a stock air cleaner anymore i got a gasser style one with a 2.5 inch riser right now and it looks 100 times better and i can see all the lines for the ip without taking the filter off and it proforms better too

I've done it both ways and didn't really notice a difference in performance.

A foam precleaner? Where is THIS supposed to be located? Around the air filter?

 

[flareside_thun]

Mine didn't have one but I'd like to have one....and yes, it goes around the airfilter, like on a lawn mower.

every new filter i buy comes with one.

purolator and wix are the two companies ive used for air filters for my truck. They have the option of with or without prefilter. I always chose with as when i had my old dually i worked in a very dusty condition and wanted as much filtration as i could.

Hey if you go to Advance auto parts, tell them (insert competitive parts store here) has the air filter for 9.73.

I used to manage a few advance's and they want their guys to be price competitve. The funny thing is, advance owns another parts company called autopart international and even though they share the same parent company they price battle each other in my area.

Commercial pricing on those air filters is 9 on the traiditonal paper one and 9.73 for the foam one.

Since you've worked for them before, how did you get the job? I got told I was overqualified. Thanks for the tip also but I already do that. It's not like the monkey behind the counter calls up and checks on the price.

walked in the store one day, had a pissed customer b/c the monkey behind the counter couldn;t look up a marine spark plug, grabbed the plug and gave the guy a NGK number i remembered that it crossed to. Manager offered me a part time position while i was in college and that turned into running the commercial division of the store, which turned into management. Which turned to $hit. They do not care about their employees at all. I opened my own shop after that and promptly told the district manager to go pound sand.

3 months later they begged me to come back and i looked at him like he had a 3rd appendage sticking out of his forehead.

i usually run the K&N prefilter on my K&N just to make sure the dust levels are on the low side....

regardless if air intake is slowed by the pre filter...definatly will prolong engine oil life...let alone engine and main bearing/oil pump life..
