38-2019S Replacement Air Filter for heavy duty applications
K&N engineers have designed quite a few heavy duty reusable air filters for diesel truck and equipment owners that can save money. These owners no longer have to continuously throw away expensive disposable paper air filters. K&N heavy duty air filter part number 38-2019S has been designed for use in some very popular heavy duty applications including some Navistar International 9200 & 9300 Series Trucks.  K&N's 38-2019S air filter also fits some John Deere Combines, Case-International Tractors with Cummins QSX15 Engines as well as other heavy duty diesel trucks and equipment.  Because this filter fits so many applications, the best way to determine if this filter is appropriate for your rig or equipment is to enter your existing air filter part number in K&N's cross reference air filter search.

K&N 38-2019S has a 7" flange diameter, stands 18.5" in height, has an outside diameter of 12.75 inches and weighs about 12.8 pounds. This air filter has been designed to lower restriction and improve horsepower.

K&N HD filter 38-2019S uses a hybrid filter medium which is comprised of a thick non-woven synthetic media that is co-pleated between 2 layers of powder-coated aluminum screen wire. The bottom plate has a Urethane flange that will fit over the inlet tube and provide a tight seal around the inlet pipe. Around the filter media is a powder-coated steel cage that can help the filter withstand the extreme conditions present in large turbo diesel applications. On the top of the heavy duty air filter is a steel plate that has a handle built into it in order to allow truck owners the ability to remove and replace the filter with ease when servicing the filter becomes necessary.

Heavy duty filter 38-2019S can be easily cleaned using K&N's HD cleaner part number 99-0638 and a hose. These filters are so tough that a driver can use power washers or truck washing equipment with the HD cleaner to clean the filter then use pressurized air to blow the excess water off for a fast turn around.

K&N commercial grade air filters have a 3 year or 300,000 mile limited warranty. One K&N can replace more than 10 disposable air filters.

Below are some of the common air filter manufacturers and part numbers that K&N's 38-2019S replaces:

The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks have been a pillar of American culture since their inception in 1975. Compared to the first truck GMC ever made in 1930, the Sierra and Silverado series are fairly modern. Sierra and Silverado pickup trucks have become household names for work and pleasure in a very short time frame and owners all over America have been enjoying these trucks for their power and comfort. In 2011 these trucks underwent some substantial changes. Although the trucks look similar to earlier models they came with an improved 6.6 liter Duramax diesel engine.  This engine packs a huge gain in torque and some gains in horsepower, as well as some improvements in chassis and suspension components. The stiffer ride helps with steering response, handling on rough roads, and the vehicle's turning radius.

K&N's Jeff Lane Wins Les Schwab Challenge and Inks 2011 Division 6 Championship

Caption
On route to their Competition Eliminator win in the Les Schwab Challenge event, contested at Woodburn Dragstrip, the Hancock and Lane Cobalt ran the fastest passes the team had ever recorded.
After nearly a two month delay, the rescheduled NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, Northwest Division, Les Schwab Challenge event at Woodburn Dragstrip, is finally in the books. In Competition Eliminator, driving his new Cobalt, K&N sponsored Jeff Lane recorded his fourth win of the season with a time of 8.012 at 155.73 mph over Brandon Huhtala.

"The win at Woodburn, Oregon was incredible. Our 2011 Cobalt was running the fastest passes we have ever recorded. Brandon was running extremely well also, so it was a lot of fun racing him in the final," Lane told K&N News.

"Actually, running against Randy Jones in the first round of this race was the real pressure cooker. If Randy were to have won the race, he would have been the only person that could have caught us for the points lead for the Division 6 Competition Eliminator Championship. Fortunately, we had a .00 light, won the round and secured the divisional championship. This made the rest of the day a lot of fun without the pressure, and we continued to roll through eliminations with better reaction times and performance than our competitors each round afterwards."

The fourth win of the season at Woodburn Dragstrip also positioned the Hancock and Lane Racing team in the top ten for the national points chase. Unfortunately for the team, all the remaining races which would have allowed them to gain even more points were back east. This left them with only one more national event, the finals at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, the NHRA dragstrip located at the Los Angeles County Fairplex near Pomona, California.

"We ended the season number six nationally, Division 6 Champions, we won four races, we are leading the Jegs All-Star points series, and we set a new National E.T. and MPH record at 7.94 at 171.69 mph," added Lane.

With the remainder of this year Lane is already busy implementing his plans for the 2012 season. "We are building a new Super Stock Cavalier for my son Cody to drive next season when his college schedule permits, and I will drive it along with our Cobalt when he can't," says Lane. "It is a lot of fun, but a tremendous amount of work building a new car. The Cavalier should turn out for us to be the coolest car we have had to date. We will be traveling more next year and I can hardly wait for the season to get started!"

Low end torque and sufficient horsepower are two necessary attributes when driving a vehicle that is capable of cruising at high speeds on highways and spending a weekend pounding the trails off-road. The powerful 5.7 liter HEMI, offered in the 2011 to 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango models, functions well under these conditions. These new models have been restyled inside and out, which make them highly recommended vehicles for drivers with an active lifestyle.

Jeep strives to manufacture vehicles that have no boundaries and based on that goal, more power could help remove any boundaries that still exist.  Many manufacturers do not offer the estimated horsepower to the wheels, but rather test engine horsepower at the crankshaft. Vehicle drivetrain components suck up a lot of horsepower, often referred to as "drivetrain loss," leaving some owners wishing they had more power.

One way to make a few extra ponies to the wheels is to install a K&N cold air intake like part number 77-1563KP.  Testing has shown K&N's 77-1563KP air intake can get an estimated extra 15 horsepower at 4500 RPM and an estimated 23 pound feet of torque at 3661 RPM to the wheels without any modifications to factory programming. This substantial horsepower increase is made by replacing the restrictive factory intake system with high-flow K&N components engineered to increase performance.  The 77-1563KP air intake fits 2011 to 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango models with 5.7 liter HEMI engines.

The 77-1563KP kit utilizes an aluminum intake tube with a durable polished finish, powered coated steel heat shield, and an oversized K&N high flow, washable and reusable air filter. The filter can go up to 100,000 miles under normal highway driving conditions before cleaning is required. When cleaning is due, the filter can be easily completed using K&N's 99-5000 or 99-5050 Recharger® Kit. These high quality components are very durable, easy to install and backed by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty.

Some Peterbilt Trucks with Vortox Housing Now Have Reusable Performance Air Filter Option

Heavy Duty Commercial Grade Diesel Air Filter - Reverse Flow
Heavy Duty Commercial Grade Diesel Air Filter
Reverse Flow
For more than 20 years the Vortox Company has manufactured stainless steel air filter housings for the premium class 8 truck market.  Over time their air filter housing became a standard on many Peterbilt Truck models.  Until recently Vortox's housings strictly contained disposable air filters.  That has changed thanks to K&N's 38-2030R heavy duty air filter.  The 38-2030R is washable and reusable and it comes with a 300,000 mile limited warranty.

The 38-2030R reverse flow filter is a unique style of filter designed for the rigorous task of protecting your large diesel motor. This heavy duty air filter has been reengineered from standard filter designs with a new non-oiled, washable and reusable hybrid filter media. This strong non-woven synthetic medium is tough enough to stand up to being cleaned with both pressure washers and compressed air, making servicing this filter fast and simple.

The 38-2030R is designed to bring in air from the inside of the filter and collect the dirt into its large capacity non-oiled surface. Also, the molded urethane seal acts as its own gasket, providing an all in one filter and gasket design. K&N product manager Dino Marutsos reported that the molded urethane seal is set on both ends, allowing the 38-2030R to be installed from either side. This feature along with the simple installation process makes the 38-2030R a perfect replacement for the following disposable air filter part numbers:

Manufacturer Part Number
AC Delco A256C
Baldwin LL2608
Baldwin PA2608
Carquest 88868
