it is the 6637 filter that clay sell, maybe 5 gallons is a bit much but it is a beast.

Its funny... no matter how many pics you see of that filter, you never appreciate how big it is until you actually SEE one for the first time. I remember when I got mine in the mail shortly after buying the SD and saying the same thing you said

the 6637 can hold a LOT of dirt,
this one is about a year old and never on the asphalt roads, when I brought the truck to the shop there was no power loss or black smoke, so still no restrictions.
P.S. almost a pound of dirt! not a spec on the turbo.
