Intake! Dumba$$ shoulda checked here 1st
I wish I had searched here before buying my K&N intake kit. I just assumed what worked for my gas would work for my new diesel. Now that I've already blown the money and installed the thing, Is there any type of a pre-filter or anything that would help filtering out the turbo dusting contaminants. I'd go back to stock but my wife would freakin' kill me if she found out I wasted some of "our new kitchen" money on something that is bad for my truck.
Thanks in advance for the advice!

You will most likely be fine, I would only worry if you are doing a lot of off roading. K&N makes an "outerwere" that I use on all my quads/dirtbikes. There is a lot of people that use K&N with great results. Don't worry and enjoy!

Doesn't K&N have 100% satisfaction guarantee? If so send it back and tell them your not satisfied. Then your wife would be 100% satisfied with the "new kitchen money" you gave her!

You could be having to tell the wife "I have to get rid of this new one and buy a stock one, because I already threw it out"...
WAIT!!!! Tell me you still have the stock one...

Will K&N really take it back? I bought it from a website.

Afe
Hello fellow 6.0 owners,
I had put the AFE on my truck and the cel light went on. Called afe and they said wait 8 weeks and we'll have a new pipe to you. 15 weeks later I called and they said it would be another 5 weeks. That afternoon I took the afe off my truck and put the stock back on. Its wonderful to drive with that dam light off......
I learned my lesson about 2 things. Stock intake is just fine and afe has lousy customer service.

I have returned my afe, but I am still planning on performing my version of the zoodad, 50-60 small holes.
