AFE PRO DRY-S

hey i got the afe pro dry s and was wondering how you clean them because they are a dry filter. and no i didn't search that's out of the question. thanks again guys.

 

I believe you use a mild dish detergent and air dry. Haven't had to clean mine yet and hid my directions so when I needed it, I couldn't find it.

 

no said something about a cleaning kit for them but other than that their was nothing else about it

 

yah mine is durty durty from swamp ghost some how and my engine

 

oh why thankyou sir. maybe i got directions for a oiled filter.so blowing it from the inside with an air compressor wouldnt be good?

 

cool cool thanks for the quick answers

 

no dont do that! using an air compressor will blow holes directly through the filter, which is what you dont want

 

directions are on the AFE website. http://afepower.com/faq.php
It states how to do it with the cleaning kit but you can skip the kit part and just use the brush to get the big debris out then pour water through it from the clean side to the dirty side until the water is clear. it will still appear dirty because it is stained but as long as the water is clear its clean.

 

I gotta clean mine too! Thanks for the reminder!

 

So...you just run tap water through it until its clear then let it dry? You dont need the cleaning kit from aFe unless you just want to blow money, correct?

 

That's how I feel about it. It's easy enough to clean with water and a mild detergent. Let it air dry, and wha-la...done.

 

Steve,
I've checked our data base and could not find a picture of the filter installed into the air box. It will install exactly like the OE filter. Just make sure the seal is fully seated in the intake box before sealing the box closed. I could only find a picture of the oem filter installed. I am very sorry if this is not much of help. Let me know if you have any questions.

I bought the cleaning solution.....because I wanted to. I think it's primarily for the CAI filters (larger filters) because I got a huge bottle of it and probably won't need it.

You could use a mild soap & water.

I highly recommend keeping your stock air filter. Put the stock air filter in your truck while you clean the AFE and allow it to dry overnight.

 

That is the BEST PLACE ... I have te same theory about those kinda things.
