'tis the season for awful fuel economy and plugging in the battery charger overnight.
(Now back to that question that no one answered... what happens when it's -30 and I have 100000.0km on the odometer?)

That's a good head's up on the the snow in the filter. I've been procrastinating on getting a winter front but the snow season is finally upon us in Manitoba. So am I reading right that with a stock air filter I can expect to have snow in there if I'm running through a heavy snowfall? Or do you need to be out 4-wheeling through some powder to have problems?

Why do these stock filters clog up? I don't know of any other vehicle that does this? I've been through some heavy snow before in SUV's and cars and never had a problem.

It's pretty disappointing....
Man walked on the moon 42 years ago and we can't build a truck that can drive in the snow. I have not had this issue with any other vehicle either going back to stuff that was built in the EARLY 70's!!
IMHO, the TSB is a JOKE. It in no way prevents the paper air filter from getting plugged with snow. All is does is provide a less dense bypass filter so that AFTER the paper filter is plugged the truck can suck some air through the bypass filter. GREAT "solution"!
