don't worry about changing your 6637 when it "looks" dirty. this filter can hold a lot of dirt before it starts to have restrictions.
here is a 6637 off of a ranch truck, I drove the truck 90 miles to my shop had full power and no black smoke. they would have kept running this filter a lot longer.
this truck sees almost only dirt and back country roads. the dirt is what came out tapping it on the floor about 10 times,
this is after I threw it out of the truck and kicked it out of the way a few times.
the new 6637 weighs 2 lbs 8.6 oz.
that dirty one weighed 2 lbs 14.4 oz
5.8 oz of dirt still in it! I probable knocked half that much out just handling it.
also the turbo blades from the truck that the filter in the pics was as shinny as a mirror, not a spec of dust on it.

Im also thinking about the DP F5 tuner. Can you put it on the truck safely bone stock with no mods or are there any risks with that?

DP tunes work fine on a stock truck because the tunes will be for a stock truck.

You should at least get an EGT gauge so you know when to back off a bit.
You don't want the pistons to get too hot for too long.

I have the 6637 DIY intake. Very easy to do.
4in turbo back exhaust.

Thats all you need and youll love it, feels like a whole new truck over stock.
P.S. dont forget the egt gauge.
