If you are not racing, you do not need K&N air filters. Everything has a time and a place and with the cost of HD engines and components, the increased airflow does not pay for liners, valves, and turbos. Always great to watch you guys go through troubleshooting issues. Great work!!!

[@brustar5152]

While spending a winter at Del Pueblo RV resort in Yuma; a beautiful newer 43 ft'r came into the park belching and smoking while barely able to keep running. I went over to give the guy a hand opening up the engine bay doors only to find the whole engine bay was chock full of blown in sand from him leaving the thing sitting for months out at the Imperial Sand Dunes. The sand was so tightly packed into that bay you couldn't do a thing. I asked him if it had given him any over-heat warnings and his answer was "yes but I ignored those because it hadn't run for so long I thought it was just being temperamental." The coach could probably be repaired but there was no hope at all for the stupid owner.

Nice bus. Too bad many owners don't know how to run and care for what is in essence a heavy duty diesel vehicle. It ain't your Ford Escort. I think ALL motorhome buyers need to take a basic class in heavy diesel maintenance, even if they don't do any service themselves, so they know what to ask at the shop and not be taken. A CDL class might not be a bad idea too. An over-the-road commercial bus is this size and requires a CDL, yet an RV is allowed to be driven by anyone. There is a lot to know. The dealers don't do a good job. Most just show you where to put the key and how to work the sewage dump valve. As you say in the video, many shops don't know all the details of working on what is really an 'antique' since most of the old guys who worked on this stuff have retired by now.

[@n4zou]

The same people that allow people operating heavy RV's with just a regular old Driver's License are the same people that work overtime keeping RV'ers from parking overnight in Walmart parking lots. They are on a mission to ban vintage RV's and converted Bus's from camp grounds. One day sooner or later those people will get what's coming for them eventually. Some Politician or famous person driving his RV will end up crashing it in a huge way killing a bunch of people that will cause a major investigation and a once family members learn about the lack of proper training and qualified licensing the results will be epic.

[@excavatoree]

When I worked at Blue Bird, I was amazed. I remember there was one of these large WLs parked next to about a 25 foot (reasonably short) school bus. I asked: "So, I need to get a CDL with all the testing, etc. to drive this (point at school bus,) but I can hop in this big thing (point at WL) and drive off with just my license? " "Yes. It's an RV." "That's crazy."

[@kimkleiner8456]

Since everyone is trashing K&N I wanted to add my 2¢ because... well mostly cuz I am an senile ahole and a K&N was original equipment on a Still 045 Pro chainsaw I purchased. I loved that saw and the K&N filter. Cleaning the filter is almost mandatory everytime you use it and I would clean mine anytime I sharpened the teeth. My old Still had a 3-4" square air filter which consisted of a screen covered with some fuss. I can't remember what the cleaning proceedure was for the old saw but I think it involved soaking in solvent and an air compressor to blow dirt off neither of which are convenient in the woods. Sure you have your mix and you could cut bottom of gallon container to soak it in but owner manual specifically warned not to scrape or brush off the filter. I don't know what they expected you to do in the field but the 15-20 minutes it took me to touch up the. teeth wasn't long enough of a soak to clean the filter. I used my worn out tooth brush to help it along but after a short time I could tell that I was compromising the filter. The K&N was huge and with the folded nature of it's construction had probably ten times the surface area. It also had this elastic foam band that fit around the oval shaped filter housing that acted as a pre- filter. In the field just pulling off this pre-filter and slapping against my leg a couple times and it was good to go. I would clean the rest of filter a couple times a year but it was never very dirty. Besides the convenience I can't qualify on it's effectiveness other than it was still running almost 20 years after I purchased it when it burned up in a wildfire along with the rest of my possessions. Almost grabbed it as a tool we might need to escape but decided to leave it because my girlfriend finally appeared and I was so thankful that I didn't have to drag her out of the house and we had all our animals in the vehicle. Didn't want to grab something for fear she would think of something to grab and leave the vehicle. As it was we escaped with only 5 minutes to spare. Sorry I degress. Anyways K&N. also useful in dirty environments where you have to service air filter more frequently because you can clean and use it for life of vehicle which might not be very long unless you oil properly. They shouldn't sell the filter without the oil. Might be part of the reason for the bad rap.

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

A tiny chain saw. You don’t have a clue how much air is moving through a detroit diesel 8v92TA. K&N just can’t filter it, at those volumes too much dirt gets sucked through.

[@richardhaywood4123]

Is th 40w single grade motor oil used for the same reason as air cooled motors?

[@ronhill2108]

What's the problem with K&N air filters, I've been using them for years and have never had a problem.

[@jamesknape2883]

I read that they increase performance by allowing more air to pass without causing high vacuum. The way they do this is larger holes, in the filter pores. It also let's more and bigger dirt particles . More air and dirt get thru, but you do get more horsepower

[@K5ALLEN]

The problem is the over oiled or under oiled filter elements, over oiled causes the exhaust gas temps to skyrocket (restricted air flow) thus melting pistons and cracking liners, under oiling can cause the element to suck apart and rip because it has dried out. That causes the dusting that you see on the turbo veins and liners . Nearly every vehicle I have seen using the k/n air filter has had engine failure. , yes the work great on race cars. But in the long run you are better off with a luberfinder, wix or Baldwin filter. And yes I am a 30 year veteran diesel mechanic. Keep up the great work Bus Grease Monkey. You are doing a wonderful service to your followers!

[@DrinkWhiskeyRaiseHell]

It's pretty simple. K&N have large pores that paper and cloth filters do not. K&N uses oil on the filter to HOPEFULLY catch the dirt and grit as it passes through the large pores. It does not. Grit and such over times makes it into the cylinders and scores the cylinder walls. The piston rings cannot seal as well against a scored cylinder wall so the engine looses compression. I have even over oiled a K&N and still found sand settled in my intake runners. K&N is garbage.

[@deezelfairy]

I always say look at heavy industry if you want to see if product is any good or not - if K & N's were any good they'd be in OTR trucks, bulldozers, forklifts you name it. But their not, because their actual filtration performance is woeful and the time it takes to clean, dry and oil one does not work out cheaper than replacing pleated paper filters so overall the K & N's are a more expensive, inferior product. You'd be amazed how much dirt a cylindrical pleated paper industrial air filter holds. Smaller ones on forklifts I've knocked nearly a full pound out of them and the engine was still running OK.

[@American_Jeeper]

K&N filters are the absolute worst filters, especially for diesels. I’ll take Donaldson over those any day. If the turbo is that sand blasted, makes me wonder how dry washed the cylinders are.

[@wallacegrommet9343]

You are 100% correct

[@TommyboyGTP]

The problem is that the filter wasn't cleaned and maintained like it should have been, which was clearly obvious when it was removed. A paper filter will do the same thing if you neglect it

[@wallacegrommet9343]

Oiled gauze filters are proven engine killers. Their filtration performance declines in service, unlike dry medium filters. Lusting after an increase of peak hp at redline is nuts.

[@MrBirdnose]

@@wallacegrommet9343 Especially on a turbodiesel -- most of them run with the wastegate partially open most of the time anyway, so intake restriction is not the biggest concern. My experience with smaller diesels is modifying the stock intake also usually results in a massive increase in noise.

Its too bad wr can't get modern made oil bath type air cleaners. They are the best, when maintained.

I think it's that, while the oil bath ones are unquestionably the best, paper element filters are good enough without presenting the same maintenance and waste disposal issues.

Could you just split the nuts on the Turbo and leave the studs? I would think the studs could be removed more easily that way. I just use a small cold chisel and split them apart hitting them on the left so they could spin off if you are lucky..

I find a sharp air chisel works wonders even with bigger sizes.

If the turbo looked like that, imagine what the internals of the rotor lobes of the blower look like too

[@jaquigreenlees]

huh, why is it that the marine turbo detroits have a really different air filter than the buses have. You see these same air filters on Semi trucks as well so I know they can be used off a boat. It's nice, you can look and see if the filter needs changing without even touching the engine.

A lot less dust on the water VS on the road.

[@jaquigreenlees]

@@vector6977 yeah but you can see the same style air filters used on a lot of trucks, looks like a cut off cone. goes over the intake for the turbo.

Mann those are some beautiful bricks.
