Their proably isn't much difference in the two. The K&N uses a more pourus filter(coated w/oil) to pull more air while the Baldwin(NAPA)just has more surface area. I don't trust the K&N for this reason. Plus I hate oiling the filter and all.

i'd rethink that, air flow isnt everything when talking about air filters. i mean if the filter isnt filtering everything out then why have one at all? the K&N may flow more but i garauntee the 6637 filters better! diesels just pull way too much air for a K&N

OK thanks, The reason I was asking this is because when I put this on I recieved no change in mileage and maybe only a little change in power.

I had heard from the stealerships here in town, don't run the k&n because they don't filter enough. On here they call it dusting the engine. The k&n just can't hold up to the suction the diesel has!! I used to run the k&n in my gassers and my diesel until I heard it here and from the stealership. I also vote for the 6637 or equivilent.
