K&N Filter

['02 HD]

Ar K&N filters worth the extra cost?  Can anyone tell me one will really improve the performance of my '02 2500HD 4x4 Crew Cab 6.0L??

I have a drop-in K&N in my 6.0L.  I don't know if it has increased the performance or not, but the fact that it is reusable is worth the $45 bucks I spent...

mine already had one in it when i bought it---i like it very much----i get 17.5 mpg  to 20.5 mpg all the time--just depends on my right foot    saves on buying filters all the time--no hassel what so ever :thumb:  :thumb:

I think I may try one.  How often do you change/clean them? Thanks

I've had them on my past two cars and will definitely put one on my new GMC.  I can notice a better throttle response and like the fact that they're reusable.

 

As for cleaning them, just pull it out and look at it every few months.  When it starts to get dirty, go for it...

 

FYI - It usually takes  few hrs to let the oil soak in when you clean it, so keep your old filter handy so you don't loose the use of your truck.

Thanks for the info.  I think I will pick one up today and give a try.

Installed a K&N over the weekend.  I can tell a difference in the take off throttle response and on the highway.  Jury is still out on any increased fuel economy.  I will check with the next tankful!!  Thanks for all of the replies to the posting.

I would rather burn the money then invest in a KN filter.. I have a FIPK in my HD and it's a pain in the ass.. but it makes a cool sound when you hit the gas or turn it off.
