Has anyone tried one of these on a 7.3? I have one one a Cat 3208 Turbo and I was wondering about doing away with the stock intake and trying out a precleaner and rigging up a custom air intake.
I nknow they use them on a lot of off highway, ag, const. equip, etc.
Would love to hear any thoughts or ideas, thanks.

 

I want one for my truck and tractor real bad here in dusty west texas. We go through air filters like crazy.

 

The one I got is on a Topkick Cat 3208 Turbo engine with 5500 untouched hours on it, the bolts on the engine ahve no sign of molestation of any sort. This truck was used for spraying chemicals in farm fields for almost 20 years. Too bad the rest of the truck didn't hold up as well.
Afetr reading several posts about intake ideas I was wondering if they were ever used on 7.3 PSD's and we just bought a good used 95 and I'm looking ot make a few mod's ELCHEAPO!!
I'm think about scavenging some exhaust parts also.
Heck if this PSD goes out I might throw the 3208 in her for shizz-n-grins??

 

Here's what I run on mine...

6637 filter with pre-filter sock

 

That's what I have too without the sock. The rats got attracted to that thing for some reason so I don't use it anymore. Nothing will beat a cyclonic prefilter though. I put them on all of my hummers and trucks before we left for Iraq and never had a problem from dust. That's what got me hooked on them. I have seen one F250 with a snorkel rigged before and it had one on top but if I remember right it had the stock air box. I'm working on making a metal housing for my 6637 with a 3 inch inlet pipe going up to the top of my cab. I'm not sure where to route it yet though.

 

I like the red Falcon.

 

Thanks Glenn. I think it goes well with the truck. I was toying around with the idea of red valve covers also, but that will probably wait till a later date.
