intake retrofit?

[twhouse]

ok, as a diesel newbie, from reading some of the threads seems like the K&N may not be so cool, that is what is on the truck I bought last week.
Any suggestions about returning to stock or another aftermarket system regarding cost and difficulty?
It does seem to have a 4" turbo back no kitty exhaust.

you could always switch to this: Stealth Automotive. S&B 6.0L Intake

if you can return it to stock you can always just put this filter in: Stealth Automotive. 03-06 Ford 6.0L Powerstroke OEM Drop in replacement filter

Thought about stock, will have to research cost of new from dealer, used from bone yard and probably find that something like the s&b will actually cost less and be easier to do.
Research will tell, truck has to last like all our rigs, youngest trade in / sell at 123000 miles.

Stock is your best bet. I know the stock system is sold out there at places other than the dealership. Ebay perhaps? I am trying to remember - I saw one other place mentioned ......

stopped at the dealer to pick up seat belt extenders and asked about the factory inlet system, major piece was $420!!! Looks like one of the better aftermarket systems would be easiest, anyone ever try fitting a better filter to the K&N plumbing?
