[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 630840, member: 2862"] I spent several years doing air and fuel system research while I was running my performance shop. There are very FEW gimmicks out there that actually do what manufacturers say they will, and often times, those that work are doing so completely by accident. If you leave your tractor or truck at stock power levels, there are very few improvements that can be made. 03 - 07 Dodge airboxes needed a little help, but NOT in the form of those garbage cotton gauze filters, but rather in complete replacement of the airbox with a properly designed one using a FOAM element. The factory clutches in trucks were no screaming hell, and all three automatics needed some slight tuning to eliminate the soft shifting. So mostly I agree with you hayray. There are certainly some places where the bean counters took precendence over the engineers, but not as many as people seem to think. ULSD is one of the places where the engineers did their jobs. The new "designed for ULSD" engines simply don't need anything, and you'd have to argue long and hard and show some real positive scientific proof before I'd even remotely agree that you need anything on the older diesels.
