    that would be my recomendation. After that there is a bunch on ebay all the time but I don't know the difference in different units other than size so you would have to find out which ones work for you. But they are usually like $60 if I remember right

    IH dealer calls it a "stinger" and his ISPRO brand runs about half of KW at $62 and change plus tax.

    See! #### pacar!

    Now go ask them how much they get or the air cleaners on your truck! I used to buy all my air filters for my vortox at freightliner for half the price and all you have to do is get a center punch and punch the hole in the center for the pete
