Replacement air filter 38-2024S for select Heavy Duty Diesel applications
K&N air filter 38-2024S is a heavy duty air filter made for a variety of diesel trucks.  It fits some of Volvo's North American Truck VN and VNL series rigs.  These trucks are built to be ultra aerodynamic for reduced gas costs, which has been a huge focus with the trucking industry.  Volvo has also focused on cost and ease of maintainability as a selling point.  That's where K&N's 38-2024S washable and reusable air filter can help owners even more.   K&N commercial grade heavy duty air filters have a 3 year or 300,000 Mile Limited Warranty.  This will save owners from buying paper air filters over and over just to throw them away.

Air filter number 38-2024S is an engineering marvel that is sure to impress even the most demanding drivers. This air filter features a radial seal that utilizes a rubber flange. This design seals the filter with precision to air inlet tubes that have an outside diameter of 7 7/8" inches. K&N's 38-2024S air filter has a top outside diameter of 12 3/4" inches and is constructed of a metal material protected by a highly durable black powder coat finish. In addition to a heavy duty finish the top features a handle that aids the installation and removal of the air filter for servicing. The air filters height of 16 5/16" inches is supported on both sides of the filtration media by a heavy duty wire screen.

One of the most fantastic features of this air filter is the filtration media. The media is comprised of a non-woven synthetic material that provides phenomenal filtration and engine protection, while at the same time giving heavy duty engines the air flow needed to do the job effectively and efficiently. The synthetic media is also directional. The S in part number 38-2024S stands for standard flow, this filter is designed for applications where air flows from the outside of the filter into the center of the filter, then through the mounting flange and into the engine.

This filter media is so durable that drivers can clean it with a pressure washer and dry it with compressed air on their lowest settings. Drivers will know when it is time to clean the filter by watching their air filter restriction gauge to see when it reaches 15" of water restriction, or by cleaning it once a year. To clean this air filter simply follow a few simple steps outlined in the heavy duty air filter cleaning instructions, utilizing K&N's Heavy Duty Filter Cleaner, part number 99-0638.

While this filter is known to fit some Volvo VN and VNL series diesel trucks, the best way to see if the 38-2024S air filter will fit your truck is to see if your old air filter is one of the air filters listed below, if it isn't use K&N's Cross Reference Search on KNFilters.com to find the correct heavy duty air filter.

K&N Air Intake System for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 Tundra 4.6L V8s.


For those that want the most out of their 2010, 2011 or 2012 Tundra with a 4.6 liter engine, K&N offers an air intake system that will allow for increased horsepower and acceleration.  The system is an AirCharger® air intake system with part number 63-9035. The intake reduces restriction in the intake path by removing the restrictive factory air box, air filter and intake tubing and replaces them with K&N's smooth bore intake tube and a legendary K&N high flow air filter.

K&N dyno tests each and every intake system. The 63-9035 provided an estimated horsepower increase of 13 horsepower at 5517RPM, and an additional estimated 10.61 pound feet of torque to the wheels.

The K&N air filter provided in the kit is washable and reusable, and oversized for high flow rates and less restriction. It is made of a specially woven cotton media surrounded by a rigid wire mesh for structural integrity and durability. All of the components included in 63-9035 are so tough that K&N deems this intake worthy of their industry-leading Million Mile Limited Warranty.  It will provide 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 Toyota Tundra 4.6L owners power and performance for a lifetime. 

Part 63-9035 usually installs in 90 minutes or less using K&N's simple installation instructions and its air filter can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed, depending on driving conditions.

K&N has introduced the 63-1563 AirCharger® air intake system for 2011 to 2016 Dodge Durango models with 5.7 liter engines and 2011 to 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee models with 5.7 liter engines. Owners of these highly sought after mid-sized SUVs now have an easy way to add horsepower, torque, and acceleration. K&N has made the installation process very simple by using existing factory mounting holes and easy to follow installation instructions that include numerous pictures.

The 63-1563 intake system is designed to add horsepower and it all starts with K&N's high flow air filter technology. By eliminating the factory air box, K&N's engineers created enough room in the engine bay to install a large, tapered, washable and reusable cone air filter, part number RF-1041. The air filter has a large surface area for higher airflow rates and it helps increase horsepower by minimizing restriction. Another benefit of a filter with more surface area is a longer service interval between cleanings. In fact, this filter can go up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is needed, depending on driving conditions. When it is time to clean the air filter, it can simply be done using K&N's 99-5000 or 99-5050 Recharger® Kits. These kits comes with both the cleaning solution and air filter oil.

Next, K&N improved the airflow pathway from the air filter to the throttle body with a precision-molded intake tube. By utilizing a high-density polyethylene material, K&N's engineers were able to maximize airflow while not requiring any modifications to the engine's factory programming. There are ports on either side of the intake tube to maintain the factory connections- one for the factory IAT sensor and one for the crankcase vent line.

What all this engineering comes down to is sheer horsepower with outstanding engine protetcion. K&N dynamometer tests show an estimated horsepower gain of 17 horsepower at 4944RPM and an estimated increased torque of 15.45 pound feet at 4400RPM. Additionally this intake comes with K&N's industry leading Million Mile Limited Warranty, so drivers can rest assured they're protected.

Dan Neve's 2010 Mustang Shelby GT500 leads Fall Cruise for a Cause in Wisconsin Dells

The 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 and Neve have been leading the Fall Cruise for a Cause in the Dells for the past two years.
The 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 and Neve have been leading the Fall Cruise for a Causein the Dells for the past two years.
Cars deliver us, they race and co-star in movies to entertain us. We customize them, use them to make statements regarding who we are. They create jobs and adolescent memories, and in a pinch they'll shelter us. But some are called upon to serve an even higher purpose still, like drawing attention to a cause that leads to a cure. Dan Neve and his 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 have answered that calling.
Neve contacted Fords Warriors in Pink program to get permission to use their logo and support has been growing ever since.
Neve contacted Fords Warriors in Pink program to get permission to use their logo and support has been growing ever since.


"In January of 2010, when my wife and I received the call that she had breast cancer, I felt like I needed to do more than be the guy holding her hand," explained Neve. "My mother was diagnosed late in 2009, so now with two women in my life afflicted with this disease, I had to help."

During the week Neve is the Operations Manager for Staab Construction Corporation, weekends and vacations though he becomes a road-warrior in his Shelby GT, raising attention and money to help find a cure for breast cancer. "For the past two years I have used my vacation and most of my weekends getting to car events and in front of people with the car," Neve told K&N News. I work in the construction industry and of course summer is car show season, so at times it seems like I have two fulltime jobs. The car is never on a trailer because that kind of defeats the point of using it to get attention. Whether at a gas station in my hometown, or away traveling to Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the Mid America Ford Nationals, people will come over and talk and say thanks."

Neve and the women that motivate him.


As a member of the Wisconsin SVTOA (Special Vehicle Team Owners Association), Neve decided to create a joint event with the Twin Cities chapter of Minnesota in Wisconsin Dells. "That was eight years ago and I have been organizing the event ever since," he says. "But when I started my efforts in this fight I changed the name to Fall Cruise for a Cause in the Dells. The last two years we have been fortunate to have some prominent guest speakers. Last year we had John Clor (Ford Performance) and retired Green Bay Packer, Leroy Butler. This year we were honored with Kenny Brown at the event. The weekend consists of a Friday night get-together, a Saturday morning 60 to 70 mile cruise through the scenic back roads. Then there's an afternoon miniature golf tournament with an evening banquet, with the guest speakers, along with prizes and awards. Each year it has grown and hopefully that it continues."
In just two years of part-time traveling Neve has already raised nearly $24,000 for the Susan G Komen charity.

At first the Shelby drew enough attention on its own, but Neve says he also wanted to grab the attention of those people that weren't car enthusiasts by adding pink. So he contacted Fords Warriors in Pink program to get permission to use their logo. Neve explains, "I knew that I would take the car to shows and events, so I began to contact businesses for their support in this fight and for financial donations, and then I added their logo to the car and it of course it turned pink. With pink added to the car my first big event was the 2010 SVT Superfest at Virgina International Raceway. With the support of SVTOA and Ford we offered charity rides on track with Ford drivers and all donations went to the Susan G Komen charity."

Neve and his car have covered over 20,000 miles in the first two years on their mission to fight and save as many lives as possible. "When Ford announced that they would like me to display the car at the 2010 SEMA I jumped at the chance. That is when vendors like K&N offered to support the car in product. K&N has also provided gift certificates for those buying raffle tickets as possible prizes to win. All the money raised with the sale of the raffle tickets was donated and it made a huge difference. Car enthusiasts are a special group of people and care for others a lot."
Raffling prizes is another means for Neve to raise money for his cause.

Neve has raised nearly $24,000 and he estimates that hundreds of thousands of have seen his pink trimmed, logo adorned Shelby.

"Having those who have been personally impacted by not only breast cancer, but many other forms of cancer, come up to me and shake my hand and give me a hug for doing what I'm doing is incredible," adds Neve. "I tell people that I grew up knowing someone with polio, and today I don't know of one person with that disease and my dream is for my grandson to say the same thing about cancer when he grows up. What a great day that will be! Now that we have just finished year two of the Cruise for a Cause, and now with the addition of my mother-in-law as the newest women in my family to be diagnosed, this ride is not over and will go on as long as I can make a difference for others and find support."

Neve says he's looking forward to more road trips and making an even greater impact in 2012. "I want to make a difference and travel is not cheap and all the money I raise is donated. So with the cost of fuel, tires, maintenance and food and lodging, well it all adds up. I'm hoping by getting the word out other companies will jump on board so this journey can continue."

Team Faith Wins Second Grand National Cross Country UTV Lites Championship

Caption
The championship winning Yamaha Rhino has been retired by Team Faith, as they will be racing in the Premier Open Class for 2012.
"For us, winning a championship in anything is awesome! It gives us an opportunity to share the message of Jesus Christ with others and it helps put our sponsors in the spotlight as well, which in-turn helps fuel our race program," remarked Team Faith owner Brian O'Rourke. Since 1994, Team Faith has functioned as a non-profit multi-faceted Outreach Ministry, impacting people who are enthusiastic about Action Sports.
Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster and co-pilot Brian O'Rourke locked up their second GNCC UTV Lites Championship in round five of six at St. Clairesville, Ohio race.
Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster and co-pilot Brian O'Rourke locked up their second GNCC UTV Lites Championship in round five of six at St. Clairesville, Ohio race.


Team Faith's Chuck Lemaster along with co-pilot O'Rourke were crowned the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country UTV Lites Champions last week. The team's third place finish in the round five event at St. Clairesville, Ohio, was enough to secure their second UTV Championship.

Founded in 1979, the GNCC series continues to be considered America's premier off-road racing series. Cross-country racing is arguably one of the most physically demanding of all motorsports, and the grueling three-hour GNCC races support that claim. This year alone, some events have featured as many as 1,500 riders, navigating through tracks ranging in length from eight to 12 miles, with varied terrain, including hills, woods, mud, dirt, rocks and motocross sections. It has been said that GNCC events are tests of both survival and speed.

After locking up the 2011GNCC title O'Rourke told K&N News, "We have officially retired our Yamaha Rhino and have not raced it since we won the Championship. Instead our efforts have been focused on our current National Arenacross team with Kelly Smith and Kevin Johnson." It appears the second UTV Lites title will be the last for the championship winning Rhino as O'Rourke has put it up for sale.

"All year long at each event, I know we were looking ahead and dreaming a little about trying to race in the Premier Open Class in 2012," said O'Rourke. "That's where the machines really perform. Besides the economic issues, I think that is why the attendance in our class was a little low as well. Everyone wants to race the premier class to see just how good they really are. So, although a second Lites title is great, we think it's time we compete in the open class."

"Driving-wise, I believe Chuck Lemaster is completely competent and more than ready to race in the open class! Like I said earlier, all this season we've both been drooling over what the open machines can do out on the track. The big challenge is the cost," adds O'Rourke. "We are working on a deal that we hope will get us the machine we need to compete, and if sponsors like FLY Racing, K&N and Trinity Racing help us build our race package, there's really no reason that we couldn't transfer the last three seasons of experience racing Lites UTV's on the GNCC series into a winning open class program as well."

"Chuck Lemaster and I want to say thank you to K&N for all your support! We appreciate you guys working so hard to find solutions to our performance needs. Congratulations to you as well for another UTV Lites Championship. We look forward to continuing to grow this race program into hopefully a Premier Open Class contender."
