I have gone through my new 91 D-150 with the 3.9 and its in great shape but none of the auto parts stores in my area (and I have to drive 35 minutes to get to town already) carry the air filter for it.

Any recommendations for on-line sources?

I just got the Dorman bushings for the wiper linkage and the only other issue is a sporadic radio. So far its a great truck and I like it a lot.

 

Check Rockauto.com


However, are you sure you have the stock air cleaner housing? Might have a different housing on it and you don't know it, you know?

 

The po toldme Oreilly's was the only place that had them

 

rockauto has them. DD the 3.9's have a strange air filter that would look cool on any engine if you built a custom housing for it.

 

Why only the 3.9s? That doesn't make sense. lol


It does look good though.

 

i have no clue.

i have wanted to build a custom open element air cleaner housing using one of those filters for a while. would make it look more like a 6 pack hiding under it.

 

Or even a dual carb Ford 289 or 302 for that matter.

 

Its the original oblong filter in the plastic housing with the damn clips all around it I cant reach without standing on a bucket! Autozone and Oreilly's didnt have it and couldnt get them apparently (both said they were no longer in their inventory system). I was thinking Rock Auto and will just go with that.

This was a truck used by the conservation department as a fire support vehicle so its been well maintained and has zero rust since it was always kept clean and stored inside.

Its actually a pretty cool little truck and I will post some pics when I get a chance tomorrow. The guy I bought it from was an old farmer who gets lots of equipment from government auctions in a nearby city and he said you would be amazed at some of the great stuff you can get cheap. I think I am going to have to check it out!

 

this is the one I use for my v6: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-FRAM-AIR-FILTER-CA6491-FOR-DODGE-1991-1993-/380572127046?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item589bddcf46&vxp=mtr
