Any oil conical filter really. AFE, S&B, K&N, etc all make them.

Of course, the filtering quality varies greatly between certain brands.

You also need to be real good about maintaining an oiled filter or it is worthless.

Yes... Brandon Drummonds is running one. It is made for AirFlow Systems by AFE, and is hte 5-ply gauze format which is the same construction as the Stage 1 AFE elements. It has about twice the airflow rating as the paper 6637, and is the exact same external dimensions. One of the ways it gets its higher airflow is by having a second filtration cone inverted into the end of the filter.

Here's the ORIGINAL thread link:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...ternative.html

Here's the link where Brandon posted his pics:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...fe-6637-a.html

Contact information for purchasing one is (the element does NOT show up on the web site... just call:
Dynaflex Chrome Muffler Stacks | Chrome Stacks | Rubber Intake Elbows | Donaldson Mufflers - call them at 1-800-762-9876, or (800) 356-5432

IIRC, you can only get the elements through AirFlow Systems. Dig through those two thread links I posted, though, and you might find an alternative AFE number to order direct.

BTW... why are you getting a new one? Something happen to the original?

This is a little off topic, but does anyone know just what the 6637 filter was installed on? I checked the NAPA catalog, and it just says various industrial applications. I browsed through the heavy duty & off road catalog, but never found an application for the 6637.

Original purpose for a 6637 was for a 5.9B and 4BT cummins motors used in industrial air compressors.



Pete, thanks for taking up my slack with the links!

And by the way guys, Pete does make a cover to fit these filters, and it works great.

Thanks for the info Brandon. That application explains why the 6637 can hold so much dirt while still flowing freely.
