This S&B open intake kit is a game - changer for your 2017 - 2019 Ford F - 250/F - 350 with a 6.7L Powerstroke engine. The OEM intake tube is small and restrictive, but S&B's intake tube has a huge diameter. It allows an insane amount of airflow to reach your engine, which directly translates to better performance. It comes with a black powder - coated steel cage for extra protection, and a black zinc - plated support bracket to stabilize the intake tube and filter assembly in the engine bay. The support bracket has a grommet that fits a prong at the bottom of the tube, making filter maintenance quick and easy. There are two filter options. The cleanable filter is great for city and highway driving. It lasts a long time and can be cleaned with the S&B Cleaning Kit. The dry filter is for trucks used in dusty environments. You can extend its life by blowing it out with compressed air and dispose of it when it's done. This intake kit offers improved throttle response, works on both stock and tuned trucks, and won't trigger check engine lights or codes. It provides a 54.8% airflow improvement over stock, has an efficiency rating of 99.19%, and proper airflow mapping for the Mass Air Flow Sensor. It also minimizes restrictions and maximizes performance. It's available in either 8 - layer cotton cleanable or dry cleanable media, and comes with an S&B battery tray that swaps the OEM battery location. Part numbers are 75 - 6001 / 75 - 6001D. Installation takes about 1 hour. Note that removing the insert will make your truck drive poorly and may show a check engine light as it won't match the stock calibration's desired MAF readings.

Using this intake kit is simple. First, make sure your truck is turned off and cooled down. You can install the kit in about an hour. Just follow the included instructions and bolt it on. For maintenance, if you have the cleanable filter and your truck is mostly used on city roads and highways, use the S&B Cleaning Kit to clean the filter regularly. This will keep it working well for a long time. If you have the dry filter and your truck is often in dusty areas, blow it out with compressed air to extend its life. When it's too dirty, just dispose of it and replace it. Remember, don't remove the insert in the intake tube. If you do, your truck will drive badly and might show a check engine light because it won't match the stock calibration settings. Keep these tips in mind, and your engine will breathe easier and perform better with this intake kit.
