Ford AIS filter?

[colliehauler]

Who has the best price on a replacement filter?

[hotpepperkid]

I have an AIS air box on my 7.3. I can tell its getting plugged up when I can't make 28 lbs of boost when going up a freeway onramp. It holds a lot of dirt. I have collected almost 1/4 cup of dirt for it.

Wow! No wonder the Blue Kool Aid drinkers complain about maintenance cost $72 for an air filter!
Fleetguard for my 01 Cummins is $20, it is $26 for the 7.5 up 6.7L. Fuel filter is $16.

As the poster below you noted, the AIS is a severe duty replacement (upgrade), with a completely different air box. Although it is a factory Ford part, it is not a 'stock' filter, per se. The AIS offers substantially better filtration as well as greatly increased airflow as compared to the 'stock' filter- which, incidentally, is $20-25, and available at any auto parts store....

This filter you are talking about is also available at an auto parts house. Go to Napa and tell them you want a FIL9090 air filter. There are $55.;)

If NAPA has an AIS equivalent, then it may well be $55. I only use the Motorcraft. However, if you are suggesting that a stock filter is $55, then you may be shopping at the wrong place.

Yes it is an AIS equivalent and if you want to throw you money away go for it. I was just responding to the OP.:W

My Ford Severe Duty AIS system is about five years old. I expect to get a minimum of 50K miles before I even consider changing this current filter element.

And therein lies a very cost effective feature, not to mention more closed hood time, having a higher air flow and probably one of the best diesel air filtering system on the planet.

I expect to replace the truck before having to replace an air fillter but I stick mainly to pavement.

Got to ask what is Fords Asking price for that filter, hopefully less than $100.

My brother's a diesel tech and he told me never to get an aftermarket filter or intake unless you'd like to find out what a dusted turbo looks like and what it costs.

Colliehauler: Sorry I could not help more. The Ford dealer is the only place I have found them and they do not seem to vary in price much.
