When to replace a reusable air filter in a superduty truck?
I've had mine for 8 1/2 years. At what point do you replace it? It just feels like I need to clean it more often, like it's not performing like it did in the beginning.

Most of my friends that have off-road vehicles feel that K&N has a better marketing department than engineering. I tend to agree and have seen the remnants in the intake track by using poor filters or filters that do not seal well. I know the 6.0 PSD used a Donaldson filter design, but not sure if the filter was similar in the 7.3 PSD.
BTW: My off-road toys use an oiled dual layer foam filter with prefilter outer sock and get changed/cleaned every couple of days of use in dusty environments. I use the same off-road setup on my DW's road scooter and only clean the filter annually. Where you drive verses how often sometimes makes a bigger difference in filter maintenance.
Go with the Moose or No Toil foam filters on your off road toys, and be sure it has a rubber grommet for the bolt. Here are the test results.: http://haroldbawlzangya.com/air-filter-test/
