Air filter

I'm trying to replace my air filter, I have the AIS. I have been unable to locate on locally. Where is the best place to get one?

I looked there, that's a little more than I was looking to spend.

That is probably the best price you are going to find. The AIS system is expensive and the replacements are VERY F'ing Expensive. That is the price of a great filtration system.
If you want some noise and cheap replacement filters then purchase the 6637 Kit and put a Pete's Cover on it.

There is a much better price out there:

[FA-1757]Ford 7.3 liter Power Stroke Diesel AIS Extended Life Filter Kit(FA1757) - Diesel Filters,Additives,brake rotors, and brake pads for Chevy, Dodge and Ford Diesel Trucks

And their shipping is very fast. They are also somewhere close to you in the Northeast. 1 day shipping to you.

Yes, they are expensive... but they last a laawwng time. Cost per mile is on par (or cheaper) with just about anything out there.

I'm guessing that if you bought five filters from them (so you get free shipping) you would have nearly a lifetime supply.

More than a lifetime supply unless you live in West Texas or another desert somewhere! Under normal conditions the filters should last 60k or more.

From some reading I did several years ago, IIRC, the Donaldson PowerCore technology used for the AIS (and other PowerCore element configurations) are supposed to be good for about 100K miles. Of course, just like with ANY air filter, the useful life will depend very highly on the type of ambient air conditions you drive in (amount of airborne dust/dirt).
