I watched them service the Cummins, the mechanic took the air-filter from the tool box , and it turned out to be an extremely dirty used filter .
The jerk manager had the used dirty filter installed , they did not even call the guy to tell him




Well the manager to EXACTLY as the customer requested.

Guy gets ripped off and you think it was a favor? Your an idiot.

But, theft is theft...


Engine longevity has decreased BOATLOADS since K&N air filters came out, right? gimme a break.

This marked the first time someone other than me changed the oil on this vehicle since it was purchased new in 05.

I had a Fumoto valve installed..... Can anybody guess what is installed there now? I am at a loss for words.


You need to do your own service.

Filters are pretty cheap and if it flows a bunch more air it most likely flows a bunch more dirt!

Another blind reference to the 2009 Duramax Diesel test where K&N had a 96% efficiency vs the top performer AC Delco at 99%. One filter for one make and model extrapolated to encompass every vehicle on the road.

Not really. I'm sure the 2009 Duramax owners were happy.
I make over 400 products and they have been on the market since 1981. I know all too well what goes on and the loyalty to products people have and no matter what you say it won't float.

I also see the tricks of comparing apples to oranges. What I presented is like anything written. You have to discern what it really means and if it matters to you.

Plus it was not a " blind reference" at all. It was a "in your face reference" if anything.

To each his own.
If K&N's float your boat, go for it.
