No, I am not offended, it's just my personal preference, and yes, my filter is due for a change. I don't want to deal with them.

 

Hey, BJ, this is my fault. I just don't see the evidence, merely hearsay that seems to prove the K&N is benefiting, not hurting the filtration. I guess people look at it their way and can't explain why, (besides improper cleaning/oiling) which is fine, but people should admit that and not claim argument is the motive.
I truly feel the K&N helps my truck's performance, and to hear otherwise demands proof imo. Anyway, if you wanna boot me it is your perogative, but all I did was ask questions.

Boomer is the one instigating with the "noone likes you" comment. I have benefited from a couple of LL's comments as I am sure many have in the last month. Just sayin...

 

We don't point fingers, he was speaking to lltoolj. He has done this quite often.

 

Slorider bluejays post was directed to me. And bluejay please tell boomer to stop teasing me.

 

I gotcha, man. Given, cleaning them is a pain, but I have always found it worth the effort. Wasn't trying to argue, I just haven't seen hard evidence to prove K&N is worse...I know a guy with over a million miles on his F-250 Diesel and has had the same K&N air filter on BOTH engines he's had in it (for like 650,000 miles - one air filter). That's awesome imo.

 

I didn't know saying what ever is acting like a ****. Nor did i know what ever is negative.

 

Understood, I still feel I fueled the fire...and maybe ignited it...K&N for life!!

 

The warning was directed at llcoolj but goes for anyone that starts trouble.

As for proof against the K&N, there have been recent threads where some filter tests were posted. However, I tend to think you can do tests to prove or disprove anything you want to. I ran a K&N on my 5.4 for 135,000 miles and never used oil, ran smooth as could be the day I sold her. On the otherhand, I never saw a power or mpg improvement. Just the savings of not replacing filters. Personally, I like K&N but obviously, they are not for everyone.

 

Some folks are more sensitive than others

 

I'm out...

 

The names tool.. lltool there is no cool in my name.

But thank you for your testimonial ( for lack of better words) (Alot of words im lacking today.) on your k&n usage (for lack of better words)

 

Understood about the warning, I just think I may have caused Boomer's attitude problem, not LLtoolJ...maybe...not sure.
Anyway enough drama for the night. Thanks for the input on the filter questions.

 

Some people like em some don't and if you use one its up to you. Personally I like em. I have a spectre filter on my CAI I may have noticed a slight nog increase but nothing significant. However it looks and sounds cool haha. But to each his own. And let's leave it at that.

 

I know there are alot of threads about them. But i wanted my thread to be much more than just the k&n's so i added an open type of thread for all categories i mentioned in the first post. The only discussion so far has been on the filters.

 

Yea thats a good place to close on the filter topic.

Lets now talk about weight reduction. What all could be takin off our trucks to reduce weight? to help with categories posted. So far i have takin off muffler, sway bar, trailer hitch, spare tire, only fill tank halfway. What else?
