    Does FL offer a larger air filter system, factory option?
    Does the system for a 16L DD flow more air?
    Might be worth looking into.

    Back in the day on the cabovers a 6" air intake pipe was the norm.
    Truckers with the big engines like a 12v71 or KT would have dual intakes and filters and conventional's came with one filter and duals as an option.
    When 400 hp became the norm the factories went to 8" intakes to increase the volume.
    The cool kids had twin 8" air intakes and dual filters.

    I cant believe this thread was about the air dog, but no one gave any first hand experience on it?
    Is anyone running it, and did you notice power gains? If so, how would a lift pump give you more HP, from these modern diesel engines?
    Also, would the dealers troubleshoot issues, related to fuel issues with this system installed?

    I installed the AirDog Champ on my 2019 Cascadia dd15.

    Can't honestly say I see a fuel mileage difference. Maybe a little better throttle response.

    Spoke to FL before buying. They said as long as it's not the cause of a problem, warranty would remain on all coverage.

    Henry Albert was the King of fuel mileage . Yet he bumped his speed up and took the mpg hit because he made more overall and or had a better quality of life at home. It’s worth trying to get best fuel mileage but after a certain point it’s not cost effective Least not after Elog came into effect it seems.
