The Ram 3500 and Ram 2500 are two standouts in the utility and pickup truck world. They have been used in many utility positions where power, reliability, and cargo capacity are necessary. At the heart of these workhorses is the Cummins turbo-diesel engine, which provides excellent towing capacity along with 350 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque at the crank.
K&N Air Intake System for 2010, 2011, and 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 6.7L diesel pickups
This kind of performance is excellent but that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. This is where the K&N 63-1562 performance air intake system comes in. It is designed to open the air intake pathways of Ram diesel trucks and allow them to breathe more easily. This leads to better horsepower and torque and an engine that roars.
The 63-1562 intake system improves performance by an estimated additional 8.2 horsepower and 14.76 lb-ft of torque to the wheels in tests on a 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 with 6.7 liter engine at 2919 RMP. The oversized K&N air filter on the air intake is washable and reusable. It has 6 layers of oiled cotton gauze for the outstanding filtration a diesel engine needs. The filter is covered and protected by an enclosed airbox and snorkel for bringing in lower outside air temperatures. Since this era of Ram can have two different bumpers depending on year and model the scoop includes a 1.5” section that can be cut out so that the snorkel will align properly with either bumper.
The 63-1562 air intake system comes with instructions and all of the hardware necessary for installation. The instructions have pictures and detailed steps making installation simple and straightforward. Additionally this air intake is covered by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty.
K&N has been creating air filters for more than 40 years. K&N air intake systems still follow the same basic idea. If clean filtered air flows more easily into the engine, the engine will make more power to the wheels. With meticulous detail-oriented design, constant testing and the history to back it up, K&N air intake systems deliver power with confidence and reliability.
The 63-1562 air intake system fits the following Ram diesel pickup trucks:
Replacement Air Filter for 2009-2012 Can-Am Outlanders and Renegades
It might be easy to envision the Bombardier Recreational Products facility to be manned my hyperkinetic joy-elves working tirelessly round the clock. That would be one explanation for how BRP's Can-Am family of off-road vehicles continually offers market leading changes and new technologies each and every year. With the 2012 model year Can-Am once again reset the ATV bar by giving the Outlander 800R some significant redesign upgrades.
Although the Outlander 800R uses the same 71-horsepower, 800cc, V-Twin engine it has for the last few years, a key part of the redesign features a new air box which has been reconfigured and positioned at a higher and more centralized location for improved air processing. The air box features a dual-room design that significantly improves the process of air getting into the engine. This is accomplished by capturing grimy air in one portion of the box, and cleaner air in another section, before any air flows into the engine. The air intake is also positioned higher up in the frame, which was designed to improve the Outlander's performance in the mucky off-road environment it was intended for.
Improving air flow and air quality is absolutely essential to superior performance and the folks at Bombardier Recreational Products have taken some noteworthy steps towards that goal. However, K&N has taken this fundamental understanding of internal combustion, and through their own determined engineering efforts, they have lifted air filtration to an art form. K&N's CM-8009 replacement air filter utilizes an adapter tube and high flow filter element that mounts directly to the Outlander or Renegade models listed below. Replacing the restrictive factory air filter with a washable and reusable K&N high-flow air filter is easy. Step-by-step installation instructions are included in the K&N box.

K&N's CM-8009 reusable air filter is designed to increase power and torque. It consists of oiled cotton gauze layered between two sheets of aluminum wire mesh, which provides exceptional filtration and outstanding air flow to help optimize performance, and to keep your Can-Am engine running clean for a very long time.
The CM-8009 air filter can hold a large amount of dirt before cleaning is necessary. The length between servicing depends on your off-road riding circumstances. When it is time for servicing K&N recommends a Recharger Filter Service Kit, which contains an industrial strength degreaser and air filter oil. Using the K&N Recharger® Kit you can restore the air flow and look of your K&N air filter so it perform like new for years down the road.
K&N CM-8009 will fit the Can-Am Outlander and Renegade models listed:
Austin Reed and the number 14 Approved Memory/K&N Legends Cars
Back in July of this year Bakersfield native, Austin Reed was California Dreaming about a win in the Legends Big Money 100 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Reed says he plans on spending the rest of 2012 gaining as much Late Model driving experience as possible in preparation for next season.
Surely he had earned that right, Reed started racing when he was 12-years-old and he's winning championships in off-road Trophy Trucks and Legend cars ever since. Now 18, Reed drives for his NASCAR winning car owner father, and successful business entrepreneur Dave Reed. The young up and comer kicked-off his 2012 season in strong fashion, picking up a win in his number 14 Approved Memory/K&N Legends Car at Willow Springs International Raceway in Rosamond, California in the middle of February. He followed that up with a solid showing in Las Vegas during the Sprint Cup weekend.
After graduating Frontier High School in Bakersfield with honors this year, Reed illustrated his determination and comment to racing by moving across the country to Mooresville, North Carolina for the summer to compete in the NOS Energy Legend Car Semi-Pro division of the Jack in the Box Summer Shootout Series.
The K&N sponsored driver started 2012 off strong earning a Legends Car victory at Willow Springs International Raceway.
While the series is a ten race super-series, the highlight of the schedule is the Big Money 100, the largest event in grassroots racing, which plants the nation's best Legend Car racers center stage in the heart of NASCAR country. However, even though he was one of the fastest drivers each week leading up to the marquee event at Charlotte Motor Speedway, things didn't pan out as planned for Reed.
"In the Big Money 100 unfortunately we were unable to compete in the A-main," Reed remarked. "I caught some bad luck racing in a transfer position and lost the spots during the heat races. Although we stayed for the night and helped the team cars fight their way to top-5 finish."
Overall Reed says "2012 has been a great year of racing we've had 28 top-10's, 17 top-5 finishes, and one win in the Legend Car. I have also been testing a Late Model to race in the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) on the east coast." Reed recently competed in Late Model Super Limited series at Hickory Motor Speedway finishing 5th.
"I think my main goal for the remainder of the season is just to gain experience in a Late Model in preparation to go racing next year," Reed adds. "We are racing the Legends Oval Asphalt Nationals in Atlanta October 24th-27th, along with the Legends Road Course World Nationals in Las Vegas December 5th-8th. We are going to be racing a hand full of Spears SRL Southwest Tour races next year too, along with the PASS Series here in the South east. We will of course be racing Legends all over the country next year but primarily in the Southeast. I am also attending my first year of College here in North Carolina."
NHRA Pro Stock racer Erica Enders blasted her way to the early number one spot by posting a 6.624.
As the chase to be one of the top seeds for the 2013 K&N Horsepower Challenge season rolls heats up, NHRA Pro Stock competitors are really mixing things up, as of late, compared to the first half of the season when there were just two or three drivers taking turns at the top of the qualifying field for each event. Erica Enders managed to carry her qualifying momentum from Brainerd to take the top spot in Pro Stock again during the most prestigious NHRA event of each season, the 58th annual Mac Tools U.S. Nationals, just outside of Indianapolis, Indiana.
Preparing for and competing at the biggest race of the season can always add some additional pressure for any professional team, but for this year's running of the U.S. Nationals and the persistent rainy weather that pounded the event, it was even more daunting than usual. Qualifying for Pro Stock got underway as scheduled, with their first hit of five sessions taking place on Friday afternoon, but with the remnants of Hurricane Isaac drenching the area over the next few days to come, that was the only part of the schedule that went as planned.
Erica Enders NHRA Pro Stock GK Motorsports/KLR Group Chevy Cobalt
During the first session, Erica Enders blasted her way to the early number one spot by posting a 6.624, edging out 2012 K&N Horsepower Challenge champion, Vincent Nobile, who made a nice 6.631 pass and Allen Johnson's 6.634 that was good enough to start him out at number three. Teams were scheduled to have two more attempts on Saturday, and while they were nowhere near the original scheduled times thanks to the on and off rain that was quite heavy at times, they almost got them both in.
Session two was interrupted with a quick rain shower right after Dave Connolly made the first lap of the round, forcing the remainder of the contenders to wait it out in the staging lanes while officials dried and reprepped the racing surface and the always stubborn shutdown area. When action returned to the track, Enders once again made the quickest lap of the pack, just shy of her earlier number and held on to the number one spot.
Erica Enders grabs her first U.S. Nationals Pro Stock number one qualifier.
Pro Stock teams rolled to the staging lanes a few hours later to make one more attempt for the day, but after only a handful of cars went down the track, NHRA's Safety Safari shut them down. After a check of the track and a second look at the current weather conditions, the temperature and dew point were both in the low seventy's and conditions had become quite unfavorable to send anyone else down the quarter mile.
Although there were two more days of activities planned for the U.S. Nationals, Mother Nature and the remnants of Isaac had plans of their own that completely washed out the remainder of the event. Officials not only made the decision to bring back all the teams the following weekend, but allow qualifying to remain open for the professional teams. A decision that wasn't unprecedented in the history of the sport, but still one that stirred a vast mix of emotions with all involved.
After the week went by and team's made it back on the track, Enders made a nice run for session number four, but it was Greg Anderson who would bump her and several other down when he made a 6.556 pass, which was a whole tenth of a second quicker than just the week before. K&N's Mike Edwards also improved more than a tenth over his best time the prior week, 6.563 to place him at number two and a testament to the much better and dryer air conditions than the racers faced prior to the rain delay.
But Enders and her GK Motorsports/KLR Group Chevy Cobalt were not done yet and with one more session later that day, she jumped right back up on top with a clean 6.550 to grab her first U.S. Nationals Pro Stock number one qualifier and the $3,000 bonus check from K&N Engineering.
"We were able to hang on to the number spot, even through the second week and that was huge," Enders admitted. "The Summit guys stole it from us, but we were able to go right back up there and steal it back on the last session. Really pretty excited about that because it was Indy, because to be a number one qualifier there is something really good to add to your résumé."
"When you throw in rain delays and days when the track isn't prepped quite right, it just makes for an extremely long weekend," Enders added of the race. "Then since we had to come back the following weekend, well it was definitely long and drawn out."
By adding her accomplishment at Indy, Enders is slowly making her way to the top of the list in the 2013 K&N Horsepower Challenge standings. "I am just really excited to be a part of the K&N Challenge and all that it takes to make it in for the bonus race," she pointed out. "Everyone in Pro Stock is extremely grateful and we all can't thank K&N enough for putting this special program on for us and it certainly keeps exciting for us to have a shootout race to work hard for, like the fuel guys do."
"I'm really stoked about it and we are at a great point to continue to carry the momentum and to keep adding those K&N qualifying points to our total for the big $50,000 shootout in Vegas next spring," she added.
Derek Thorn won second NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race at NAPA Speedway in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Derek Thorn won his second NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race at NAPA Speedway in Albuquerque, N.M., on a night when rookie Dallas Montes made an impressive debut.
Thorn's win was overshadowed by a runner-up finish my Montes, who was making the first K&N Pro Series West start of his career.
Montes was one of three rookies to finish in the top five in the race. Taylor Cuzick was fourth and Austin Dyne was fifth.
Fifteen-year old Hannah Newhouse, who was also making her K&N Pro Series West debut, was sixth.
NASCAR K&N Pro Series West Racer Derek Thorn
Montes and Newhouse will participate in the 2013 NASCAR Drive for Diversity combine. Both drivers turned plenty of heads at the tiny track in New Mexico.
Montes, driving the No. 17 Chevrolet for MMI Services in place of K&N Pro Series West regular David Mayhew, started on the front row with pole winner Dylan Kwasniewski and ran with the leaders the entire race.
"I got a little bit teared up, I have to say," Montes said after the race. "I come from a family with not that much money. Just running good like this is huge for us."
Mayhew was entered in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race in Las Vegas and missed the K&N Pro Series West race in New Mexico.
Thorn, meanwhile, worked his way through the field and overtook Kwasniewski for the lead on lap 87 of the NAPA Auto Parts 150. Thorn started seventh and won the race after a green-white-checkered flag finish.
"It was a weird night all in all," said Thorn, driver of the No. 6 Ford for the Sunrise Ford Racing team. "It was hard in practice never having raced here before. We knew it was going to hard on tires. When the car feels good you have to back it up."
Thorn won his first K&N Pro Series West race of the season at Havasu 95 Speedway in April. He has nine top-five finishes in 13 K&N Pro Series West races and is third in the series standings.
"All in all, it was a good night," Thorn said. "The guys worked their butts off on this car. They've been working on it nonstop in the shop and I'm really happy. I can't complain."
Eric Holmes, a three-time K&N Pro Series West champion, was third. It was his seventh top-five finish of the season.
"It was kind of boring for me the first half, just riding and riding and riding," Holmes said. "Just trying to be patient and nobody knew how long the tires would last, when they would really give up. I was just as patient as I could be. Things started coming my way. I really thought I had the thing going my way. Got the caution I wanted, got to third and something happened to our engine. The motor laid down. In some ways it helped me, but I wasn't fast enough after that, couldn't keep up with these two guys."
Greg Pursley, the leader in the K&N Pro Series West standings after 13 races, was eighth. He has a 13-point lead over Kwasniewski, his teammate at Gene Price Motorsports, with two races to go.
Kwasniewski, who won his fourth pole position of the season, finished a spot behind Pursley, the reigning K&N Pro Series West champion, in ninth.
The next K&N Pro Series West race is the Toyota/NAPA Auto Parts 150 at All American Speedway in Roseville, Calif., on Oct. 13.
The NAPA Auto Parts 150 from Albuquerque will be televised on Speed Channel on Oct. 11 at noon PDT.
