Factory air box

Does anyone know where I could get a stock air intake assembly for a '03 F-250 PSD. Last year I let my brother in law talk me into swapping it out with an after market system. After reading all the threads on how good eveyone feels about the Ford factory air filter I would like to go back to stock. I need the whole thing air box and all.

Most people want to get rid of the stock box because of its "poor sealing and dusting" problems. What do you have on there now?

some Napa air filter. My brother in law said he changes them out on all the city trucks he works on only because the replacement filter is only $18.00.

What number is the filter? Is it the 6637?

Is a K & N filter and stock air box (if sealed with grease or something) OK for a temp. fix?

I'm guessing you have the 6.0, and swapped to the aftermarket set up that makes it easier to change the filter?

We have some dealer sponsors you could order the factory set up from, but I think they might be kind of pricey. You might consider the local wrecking yards to see if you can find a deal.

Yeah that's correct. To tell you the truth it isn't all that easy to change though. I'm trying to see if my brother in law still has mine laying around his shop. I figured it might be kinda high to buy one.

I agree. It's the filter that passes the dust. This is a K&N cone-style filter that dusted the intake pretty badly. No stock box at all...


Look up in the tube -- my buddy ran his finger through the dust then took the pic.

Just think how bad your intake tube can look with K&N filter and a stock leaky box....
