4th Gen Ram 3500 6.7L Cracking the Hood on my New Toy! Part 2

In this video, I crack open the hood for the first time and have a peek at what kind of maintenance this truck has had. I start with the air filter and work my way to a known issue, which is the power steering. It had a bit of a whine more concerning was the pulsing in the steering wheel going around corners. I flush and drain and add the Lucas power steering additive to see if it works or not. Always been curious about that. I do flush it with the wrong spec power steering fluid however I will remedy that in the very near future…..

Abrasive action like scrubbing ruins those K/N filters, it tears up the fibers and makes the already big holes even bigger. I'd just go back to a Fleet Guard filter, because that K/N filter will dust your motor for sure.

You are correct for sure, I basically wanted to see if I could make it clean again. I flew helo's in the middle east for years with K&N filters installed and this one was worse than anything I saw over there with sand being imbedded in the pleats. I don't plan on putting miles on it anytime soon, but when it goes into a bit more of a service position it'll be refreshed for sure.
