The used Dodge Cummins I bought had a K&N filter installed. When I pulled it to clean it I discovered that deep in the pleats was dirt and crud that I couldn't safely remove. It would have destroyed the filter. I put in a Wix and that is what I now use. I use K&N filters in all my bikes and like them very much.
However I feel that using a K&N in a large diesel is not a good idea, unless you clean them thoroughly and frequently. Also you have to be careful not to over oil the pleats as that can cause some problems with the MAP/F sensor on some trucks. I think if you use one you would need to clean it thoroughly every 5,000 miles or so. JMO of course.
