- Condition: New
A dirt-clogged element, a drop in power or higher fuel use can mean the engine air filter is worn, though a fuel filter or a leaking intake connection can also be behind those signs.
Fits
It also fits the 1981 Kenworth W900 V8 9.3L, the 1981-1988 W900 V6 9.0L, the 1981-1991 W900 V8 12.1L, the 1981-2013 W900 6-cylinder 14.6L, the 1983-1999 W900 6-cylinder 10.5L and the 1990-2007 Mack MR 6-cylinder 11.9L.
