We're one mile of gravel road to the blacktop from the house. Installed K&N's in Jeep Liberty diesel and the 2000 Dodge diesel (Edge with Attitude) when bought new. 272,000 on the Dodge, 74,000 on the Jeep. I clean the K&N's about once every 9 months. No dust past the filters. They work for me! But if I was the OP and after reading 10 pages of negative responses I'd be running to NAPA for the paper to.
So you are running oil analyst regularly and have verified that your K&N filters are not letting dust by? That goes for everyone. Show us your oil analyst reports. Or is your finger better than a lab on checking on this?

Good points.
Ram can deny warranty if you use a K&N or oil type filter in a newer Ram with Cummins.
I ran one right out of the box in my 99 Tahoe and it started running poory after a while. Took it to a trusted shop and he said it was the oil type filter that was messing with the sensors. Changed to a dry AMZ/OIL filter and the troubles are gone. He said he gets a lot of trouble shooting work from these type of filters.
As far as K&N quality goes from what I have been told AFE was started by ex K&N employees and their products are superior. I have one on my 98 and oil samples have come back good. I would not run any of them on my new Ram. Stock flows and filters great.
