Air filter options

[Dayron84]

One thing on my maintenance list is to get the air filter replaced. Anyone have suggestions for an “upgraded “ filter as in K&N for example? Same filter as H1 ?

Parts List - Filters

has lists of most major manufacturer filters with part numbers. Includes a K&N washable filter, but it's easily twice the price (or more) of the paper ones, and for clean air driving conditions the paper ones last a long time.


As far as I know the H1 diesels run the same setup as the military diesels for air filter (except the Alpha) so if it's designed for the H1 diesel it should work for the HMMWV if you're talking about changing to a different air intake and filter style.

Other diesel truck forums point to / have measured more particulates passing thru those K&N filters. Thought about one. Looked at the surface area of the stock one. Compared it to the civy / CUCV 6.2 filter (trucks owned) and figured for the $$, stock should last a long time for hobby use and my desert driving.

Something to think about, CAMO

Excellent resource to have handy. Thank you

Yeah, Oiled "performance" air filters are a bad deal. Ive tried them, and they are not to be recommended. They DO pass more and larger particles of dust, and they suck oil into the intake and then coat it with said dust. They cause more damage to gas engines by coating their IAT sensors and valve stems with this mung.

The military grade surplus filters are Huge on purpose compared to the tiny intake and exhaust sizes. They are made to still have plenty of air for the engine while carrying like 10 lbs of trapped dust.

Dry paper filters for the win.
