Air Filter Cleaning?

Now that he's found oil on his property ole Roy is spending money like its bubbling out of the sand.

IIRC, washing with hot water and dish washing detergent is best. Then air dry.

Arrrgggg... No, the WD-40 will last a day or so, then all evaporate. You can get air-cleaner spray at most parts stores, IIRC, I've several cans from different makers on my shelf, so it must be common, right?

No air compressor? No shop vac? I use a shop vac (backwards so it blows) to dry things like this. (Learned that trick in the Air Force where we cleaned filters on electronic equipment, and had a vacuum dedicated to blowing them dry.)

Have u tried the junkyard for O box.

One way to test the effectiveness of your filter is to wipe a small amount of oil inside the air tube, downstream from the filter, in the direct path of the filtered air. Check it after a few k miles. That oil schmeer should be nice and clean.

So, what kind of 'used' truck did you buy? 2009 CTD with heated seats?

Hmmm... didn't think that the WD would evaporate. Something to consider.

Was reading their site, it mentioned no forced air or such. The shop vac should help things along though.

Quiet or I'll be useing bees wax or honey to lube it.

It would take forever for forever for me to get a few k on this thing. I use it just to haul my fishing stuff and dog to the ocean. It doesn't see 100 miles in a week. I like the thought though. Might do it anyway.

Any preference on oil? Syn or dino, weight? That might start a debate.

Heated seats???? Real men don't need no stinking heated seats!! Especially here in FL.

Picked up a 2005 ford f150 extended cab awhile ago. Damn thing looks like it is new, low mileage and does exactly what I bought it for. Except it came with the damn filter A CTD would be overkill for my needs here.

Actually no, I haven't. I'd have to grab everything brackets intake hose vacum fittings the whole deal. Sorta figured it wasn't worth the aggrevation or the cost. Also doubtful a jy would sell the parts as the box and stuff would get busted up in a accident and they would probably want to sell it with the nose.

Honey can be used as an antifreeze!

I thought that you'd bought a Jeep to haul your ass to the beach & back??

Aha! So now even YOU are part of the HLS conspiracy... see how you are?

;^)

Truth be known, I've been a advocate of HLS for years. I was quoting my chubby buddy.

Sue's car has cooled leather seats that are really nice here in the heat.

Roy

Conspiracy? Me? I didn't vote for Oasshole and I love heated seats every winter. BTW, my '03 CTD turned 200,000 miles on the way back from hauling the first wife and the Arctic Fox on a 10,000 mile trip to Inuvik, NT and Alaska. About 17-1800 miles of that was dirt/gravel highways. Purred like an '03. Love it.

Hmmm....Ya know between the two of ya I can't keep track of the damn machine. I had dinner with the "friggin' rabbit" a few weeks ago and I forgot to ask him about it..

But. you make a good point, "the machine" sure could blow or suck that filter clean. Look what it's done for you and the rabbit.
