I'm getting close to service time for my filter and was wondering what the differances between the AFE and KnN cleaning kits are? I have a lot of the KnN stuff from another vehicle, is it OK to use? TIA

Where do you get the Filter socks to go over the filter?? Do they decrease air flow?? I know I saw them some where but can't remember where and how much they cost???

I can't get my PG7 clean. Three cleanings and I can still read the AFE logo from the sock.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif

I wrote to AFE with this exact question. I have 4 bottles of K&N oil, and wanted to use in on my AFE. Their reply was that I could use the K&N cleaner, but not there oil. They did not give details why, only saying the viscosity is incorrect.

www.kennedydiesel.com (http://www.kennedydiesel.com) It was the best $30 I've spent. My old AFE filter was junk after 20,000 miles cleaned it 5 times. The pro gaurd 7 has been on for 5,000 miles and looks like the day I put it on with the pre filter bag. Keeps out all the bugs.

The sock does help alot, but eventually the filter will need a cleaning. I am now convinced there is no way to make the PG7 look new again.
