I am running the FPP with the Motorcraft original filter. No K&N for me. I’ve seen first hand in Florida how much sand and grit makes it past a K&N. No thanks.I am also running the Ford Performance Tune with K&N filter. So far, really, only a couple of weeks, I am loving the truck's enhanced performance but remain concerned about reports of particles entering via the K&N that might not get through other filters. Although I would be hesitant to rely on the results of any single video, several members have expressed K&N concerns based on personal experience, and it does make sense, as you say, that "more air = more dirt." Since, as Phil says, the stock Motorcraft filter gives good protection, and the actual enhancement to performance to the K&N is probably minimal at best, I am starting to think that the safest thing to do over the long run of ownership of the vehicle would be to replace the K&N with a new Motorcraft the next time I get the truck serviced at my local Ford dealer. (I always run my vehicles beyond five years and 100,000 miles before trading them in, by which time there should be a next-generation Ranger or even Ranger Raptor waiting for me....) What do you guys think, about moving back to Motorcraft, I mean? Any problems with running the tune on OEM filters?
