While we're on the subject of by pass filtering, a few years ago I read in an industry publication that ford was going to implement a by pass filter system on their E series, that never happened. Any inside info if it was ever on their agenda, or just a blurb that meant nothing and should be taken with a grain of salt?
I worked for Truck Operations at one point and was able to do the Baja Races in Mexico for a while. The race is typically a couple of days of racing in a "loop" race and longer in a race from Ensenada, BC to La Paz, BC (4 Days+ if you break)

Ever heard of these guys/ They are the "Official Filter Manufacturer" (reuseable) for the SCORE races. http://gopurepower.com/offroad/

Competitors for the Franz Filter?
