ford AIS intake or o.e.m.
hay yall,
when i bought my truck a month back i wanted to service it.
found p.o. service records in glovebox it said ( change oil and filter ,clean air filter) called dealership with air filter part # they said it was $96. it looks just the A.I.S. system on diesel power products web page. my question is how can i tell if this is a factory set up or after market. also if it is A.I.S. is the filter washable. the filter looks like foam on the inside not paper or cotton.
thanks for any help.

Well, as far as I know there is only the Ford AIS, no aftermarket filters or filterboxes that are AIS. Someone purchased the filterbox/filter as a kit and installed it before you bought the truck. You are lucky, there is no better filtration for your truck. The AIS filter IS NOT washable, but will easily last 30,000-50,000 miles depending on conditions driven in. You can get the filter in the $60-$70 range from our sponsors...do not pay the dealer $100 for it. I don't know what you mean by "the filter looks like foam on the inside not paper or cotton." The filter element should be about 6" deep (thick)..is yours?

i don't really know how to describe the filter media. yes it is about 6" deep, blue paper on the outside, and when you look at the top or bottom of the filter it looks like compressed foam or something. it is not paper or cotton media.

I'm way out on dirt roads, so I did not do the fender sleeve (the dust just rolls out of my fender wells)...I did do the zoodad mod though and love the combination of AIS and zoodad.

When you do the zoodad, make sure the rubber sheeting is cut back slightly larger than the hole you cut through the header panel....don't ask me how I found out after a year or so!

I was a little worried about dust from the fenderwell but I spend most of my time in the northeast where it's not that dusty so I should be OK.

your right that is something to consider before you start punching holes. you might want a back up plan.
