Message:
Hi to all you Dakota owners. First things first. I am Canadian and I support what the U.S. is doing in Iraq 100%. Our neighbour to our south truly is our big brother..thank-you and may this end soon.
On a lighter note. I own a 2002 Dakota Quad 4x4. Does any one have the 4.7 litre with the k n air filter? and has it increased your performance?
thanks in advance
Darrell H.

As a Tennessean that has been to Montreal and Toronto, we appreciate you too, neighbor. War is war; I hated to see that friendly fire incident on your guys in Afganistan. I own a RC/4.7/5spd/2001. The only drivetrain mods to date are Flowmaster 70 series into 2 1/2" duals, and a custom 3" aluminum intake tube between the stock airbox and throttle body w/ K&N drop-in filter. The snorkel in front of the airbox was removed, along with the rubber flap between the right headlight and the radiator. K&N drop-in is worth every cent. Results are terrific. My Dak had 200 miles on the odo when I bought the filter. Don't give up on the stock airbox without simple intake mods. The performance potential is there to match or surpass the high-dollar intakes.

Darrell, nice to know hear from ya. I'm sure that the majority of Canadians share your opinion and that just like here in the good ol' USA it's the anti-war, anti-Bush minority that seems to get the media coverage.
Now on to the subject at hand. With a K&N filter, either a drop in, home made or FIPK you will increase your performance and besides, it sounds really good too.

I would suggest you skip the K&N filter. Lab tests have showed holes in the gauze at the size of 200 microns. Microns in the 20-40 range are capable of doing damage to the engine. We also see high silicone count(dirt) in oil analysis as well as higher wear metals. If you want a high performance air filter, I would suggest the Amzoil foam filter. You get the air flow and good filtration. We also have an Amzoil board sponsor.

Gee, I ran a k&n on my 95 ram since day one now has a 105,000 miles on it, only engine repair ever made? A new therm-o-stat old one stuck! Can't blame the k&n for that though. I'm sure that any day now i'll be wishing I used the more restictive amsoil foam thing!

hey fastdak..I drive the Dak 30K a year, and I have yet to cross paths with another Motorsports. I guess we'll just have to show up at Mopar shows, or something! My '92 5.2 "only" had 217K on the original motor with K&N helping out.

dbbaker,
Your assumption that the K&N flows more air and that the Amzoil is restrictrive is totally wrong. Using the test environment SAE J726C, the Amzoil will flow almost twice the air of the K&N and filter almost twice as many dirt particles. The Amzoil is far superior in all regards.
Jeremiah,
Sorry, but your system does not come up in the database, I have no info to share with you.

1994 V6 does not accelerate smoothly with throttle partly open but wide open it does better except it back fires. Same problem appx. two years ago and new fuel solved same. If this the same problem why the short life? Could ther be another control of the fuel pump? Thanks Roy
