Air Filters

Okay, I'm sure this has been beat to death, but it is time to change the air filter in my 06 6.0L. I have searched high & low in the forums but can find nothing about brands etc.....

I was thinking Donaldson.

Any help would be apreciated.

Thanks from Maryland

I just bought and put in a Donaldson...the dealer told me they are the OEM of all Ford filters. Seems to be fine, and I got it for $42, way cheaper than what I have paid in the past.

Make sure it is the one with the blue media that repels water.

Here's a link to Diesel Filters Online for the factory installed Donaldson Powercore synthetic blue media filter:

Ford 6.0 Liter Turbo Diesel Motorcraft FA-1778 Air Filter(FA1778): F-Series/Excursion

That's where I bought mine. The white paper media air filter will definitely be cheaper to purchase. The factory air filter has the blue synthetic media.
