aFe 2nd Stage was my 1st mod. Then the code started, seemed like after a regen the light came on. Installed the booster tube, and it really didn't make no difference. Then came the Evolution. I was able to clear the codes as they popped up. I was living with it till pulling a trailer on a semi warm day. The light after a regen changed to about every 10 miles.
Off came the aFe, and went back to stock(no more codes). R&D @ aFe seemed to be to make a universal design box fit the 2008 Ford. You take the stock system off which gets 99% of the air from the outside, put on the aFe which now gets a mixture of outside cool air & hot inside air. Makes no sense to me to add engine heated air to the intake.
I have a Airaid filter on order. It's a direct replacement and fits the stock airbox. Was thinking of modding the stock airbox myself with PVC pipe and the aFe filter, but the filter doesn't fit inside the stock airbox, so the Airaid got ordered.
Making a cross country trip in a few short weeks, after that I'm thinking or pondering the thought of tossing the whole DPF system out. New Programmer and filter delete pipe.
Ford should offer that as a recall. They designed this nightmare when fuel prices were 1/2 or more of what they are now. Not many people can afford the loss of trading up for a pre-DPF vehicle.
