Four filters in 63k miles? Change the filter every 10k miles? All I have to say is "why?" Why are you changing the excellant Donaldson filters so often? And all highway miles. This is my second PSD that features the Donaldson filters. I rarely change these filters under 30,000 miles. What replacement interval does your owners manual state? IMHO, changing out the filter at 10,000 miles is a total waste of money "unless" you work your truck in a mine, gravel yard, sand pits, ect... The Donaldson is probably the best designed air filter system available in a pickup diesel application. It can hold a lot of dirt and still function/flow clean air just fine. So if you wish to just spend money needlessly keep changing it out too often, but there is no need to. I have bought Wix filters for the 6.0/6.4PSD from Filter1.com in the past. It is also available in a Fram box(still a Donaldson filter) at Walmart for if memory serves me is around $60. I would not waste my money on aftermarket intake systems, they flow no better and certainly do not filter as well.
