What did u do to your raptor today?

Before and after.

Dust alone will do it, seen it many times.
Partially why I switched back to stock filter box. Carry a few extra filters and swap them out,

If your not careful it will tear the rubber boots like the afe has. Then instant limp mode

I wish I could put the factory box on but I have the Roush setup. Is there anything preventive I can do to avoid this besides constantly checking it when off-roading? I was thinking about buying one of those dust socks that go over it but I'm not sure how well they work. I know what you mean about the boots. Mine didn't tear but the filter fell off on me before but luckily I caught it pretty quick because I pulled over to see what the hell was rattling around under the hood.

Buy a pre filter sock it will definately keep your filter clean longer. I got bad pollen this year and when your opened the hood of the truck the prefilter sock was basically yellow from pollen. If i hadnt had the cover it would have been on my filter. So i just clean the pre filter sock

Man that's a good before and after shot looks nice and pretty. It's funny I wash my truck at least once a week but I've never cleaned under the hood. Think I may have to do that this weekend. What did you just spray it down with a powerwasher?

Ya I think I'll order one tonight. I could just go buy a K&N one from the store but OCD won't allow me to put it on a Roush filter. Lol.

Cold motor, simple green, plastic over the ecu, alternator, MAF, and battery. Spray away. Use common sense.

I find simple green and a standard garden hose work well.

Bet you wish you could go out, use some common sense and wash YOUR truck, huh??? lol

Just did mine at the car wash yesterday. Grabbed some Gunk Foam cleaner sprayed it down and let it sit 10-15 minutes then rinsed it in the bay. Clean as new now just don't spray the alternator or ecu too much. Gunk makes a non silicon protector too to help prevent dust next time.
