The normal NAPA price for their 2790 BHAF is like $139 (Supposedly the same as a Wix 42790)
Oh, and about that K&N . . . . . No matter what Ken's price is; DUMP that thing in the recycle bin out back. If you need any info as to why, just let me know! Suffice to say that friends shouldn't let friends run a K&N on any diesel (Well, unless it is a Chinese diesel or something along those lines . . . )

This is what I was referring to yesterday . . . . . Spicer Air Filter Test (Just doesn't leave a 'warm n fuzzy' at all!)
OOHHH here we go again. Every bad word about K&N and our trucks is about the stock replacement filter. Guy's don't realize that they make more then that one filter. I looked up the part number referenced in the Spicer study and it is the stock drop in replacement filter also. I have the full cone type replacement setup. Nobody has ever been able to show me any problems with them. But the Marine version of this BHAF does look promising though. -
Ok, I have added the AH19004 to our Website on the Dodge Filter page, now those of you wanting this can order it on-line, and when the order is processed, the pricing will be dropped to the buy deal before pushing it on thru. Hopefully this is helpfull to all

Kenny,
Thanks for all you do for us!! You're great!
Uncle,
Hopefully you know me well enough by now to know I'm not trying to start anything. I truly have just a genuine concern for our engines health! When I first heard anyone 'talk bad' about any kind of filter I really didn't believe them. On my Cummins, I was installing the new intake tube and BHAF and I don't know why; but, I put my finger inside the inlet of the turbo and got it covered with a fair amount of dirt. The rest of the intake tube was clean all the way down from the clean side of the filter. I cleaned in there best I could, saved the paper towel, and wrote down the date and mileage on it. After installing the BHAF and running it about the same miles, I repeated my cleaning in there. I got about half the dirt out of the compressor inlet as I did the first time after running the OEM filter. Only other filter 'test' I have ever found on the net is from a guy in AK who did oil analysis each time after changing to a different air filter after a set number of miles. He ran some of the aftermarket air filters, and OEM and a BHAF. Some of the aftermarket ones let in a lot of dirt (Silicon in oil analysis test numbers.) His numbers from the OEM and BHAF seem to mirror my findings (The Spicer test seems to show the same thing).
I would just suggest a guy run what he is comfortable with. I would highly recommend that we all take the intake tube off and see what kind of dirt is in the inlet of the turbo (Be CAREFUL as there are sharp edges in there!). I don't know exactly why; but that is the only place dirt seems to 'fall' out of the air stream. The tube before the turbo seems to stay clean! The reason I want to keep as much dirt out as possible is that moving metal parts really wear fast when they touch or have an abrasive between them. If we could do away with these high wear conditions then engines would last and perform at their peak much longer!!
Perhaps everyone should go out and look and report back what they find. Maybe it is time to order some better filters from Kenny!! -
