    Just curious as to what interval changes you guys with dual air breathers are changing the filters at?

    The manual doesn't say.

    I would do 50k on my old truck with a single air filter that was under the hood.

    I called Peterbilt and priced the breather filters they are $140/each compared to $50 I would pay for a single setup?

    Did look online and found them cheaper than the dealer though.

    I generally change them every year, but they never are very dirty.

    What type of trailer are you hauling?

    I pull a flat and do a fair amount of dusty jobsite hauling...

    I usually change them every 200k miles. I know it's a lot but they never look that bad or give me any issues at that interval. I mostly run paved roads though.

    Reefer. They run around $70-85 a piece. You can take them out and bang them on some black top or a dark towel and see how much falls off.
