Quick and Easy Upgrades for the Ford F-150

Mar 20, 2017

The Ford F-150 is the best selling truck in America and K&N performance products make it even better

The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in America for over 30 years. It is the perfect combination of performance, style, class, and comfort packaged in a multi-use vehicle. What is there not to love? To make one of the most popular vehicles even better, K&N has designed and engineered performance products for the Ford F-150. From replacement air filters to full intake systems and even washable and reusable cabin air filters, K&N performance products are designed to enhance the already highly regarded F-150. This guide will cover the most recent years of the F-150, including the 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. However, we make filters for F-150s going back to 1975. Just use the K&N application search to find the right filter for your car or truck.

K&N REPLACEMENT AIR FILTERS

The K&N 33-2385 replacement air filter fits every F-150 with all engine sizes from 2009-2017

K&N manufactures washable and reusable replacement air filters for the Ford F-150 going all the way back to 1975. The K&N replacement air filters are made of several layers of premium woven cotton media, and come pre-oiled so they are ready to install right out of the box.

The 2009-2017 F-150 has used the same base air box and in turn, they all use the same K&N replacement air filter. The high performance 33-2385 fits all Ford F-150 trucks from 2009-2017 no matter the engine it has. All the engines, including the 3.5L Ecoboost, 3.5L, 3.7L, 4.6L, 5.0L, 5.4L, and 6.2L.

The next level of performance from K&N is their line of cold air intakes. These are designed to flow more air than the factory air intake system. The extra air that the K&N cold air intake flows, increases the power made by the engine. Every K&N intake comes with a dyno sheet to show what we saw when we installed the kit on a test vehicle. The K&N cold air intakes also provide excellent filtration and come with the famous 10-Year/Million Mile Warranty. K&N air intakes are very easy to install, and install can be accomplished in around 90 minutes with simple hand tools.

Team UXC Off to a Fast Start in the Early Rounds of 2017 Grand National Cross Country Series Racing

Mar 20, 2017

Team UXC is a major force in GNCC racing

“The winter layover and long nights in the workshop installing parts from our sponsors, and preparing the machines to be race ready came to an end at last,” said Team UXC racer and owner Michael Swift. Clearly, Swift was ready to get the 2017 Grand National Cross Country Series (GNCC) rolling.

K&N-sponsored Team UXC competes in both the ATV and UTV classes of the GNCC. This year’s series offered a bit of a twist at the beginning of the schedule. The change created a staggered start for the ATV and UTV classes.

“To change things up a bit, Big Buck in South Carolina was our first destination, making the Hog Waller mud bog in Florida round 2,” Swift said. “It also meant our UTVs would not be making an appearance until Round 2.”

Here is a look at the first two round of the GNCC for Team UXC.

Team UXC owner and racer Michael Swift has assembled an impressive team for 2017

Round 1- Big Buck, South Carolina

Michael Swift’s son, Tayton, started the day and the season off right with an impressive 3rd place in the 90 Limited 8-12 class.

After watching his son’s performance, Michael Swift was ready to board his Polaris Scrambler XP 1000 for the first full race since his wreck at Ironman. The Pro 4x4 racer did not feel up to full race fitness, but was ready to get back to competition.

Lining up alongside Swift, was teammate and fellow Pro 4x4 rider, Kevin Trantham. Trantham was fresh off of winter training and was excited to see what the 2017 machine would do on the varied terrain at Big Buck.

Jesi Stracham's is a story of inspiration and hard work

Swift looked strong back on the ATV and it was only a small technical issue that held him back rather than anything related to his fitness. He brought the bike across the line in 7th. He said he was very happy to be back on the bike and ready to join Trantham and put his machine back on the podium.

Trantham ran a fast and competitive race and brought his Polaris home in 3rd. He said the varied course of Big Buck lent itself well to the high maneuverability of the Scrambler. The motor was strong and the Teixeira-Tech chassis components were key contributors to this podium finish.

Team UXC 4x4 Senior Class racer, Graham Widdicombe, raced to a solid 5th place finish in the season opener. This is Widdicombe's second season with the team.

Round 2 ATV / Round 1 UTV – Wild Boar, Florida

Swift says the Wild Boar round presents some unique challenges in the GNCC series.

“It’s always hard to know what will happen in Florida as it’s a unique terrain compared to the rest of the tour,” Swift said. “However, the sand, pine trees, and bog combination always means a rough, often tight track. It presents a challenge to both the machine and the racer with sand sapping both power and energy.”

Some new faces and uplifting stories highlight the 2017 season for Team UXC. Joining the team for the first time is Factory Polaris Ace 900 XC racer, Jesi Stracham.

“Many will know Jesi’s story, but for those who don’t, an unfortunate accident left this young lady paralyzed,” Swift said. “However, never one to let anything stand in her way, she has found that racing single seat UTVs has given her a great release. After finishing her first race in the Ace two years ago, she said it made her feel like she had legs again. We look forward to having her on the team and her continued success!”

In her UTV race, Stracham got a fantastic start but unfortunately caught a tree, which affected the steering on her machine and she had to pull out.

Another new racer joining the UXC UTV team is Matt Ashton. Running in the Amateur Limited class, Wild Boar would be Ashton's first GNCC race. Ashton brought his RZR across the finish line in 2nd place in the UTV Amateur Limited race.

Trantham is poised for a GNCC championship run

In the UTV XC1 Pro Class, Michael Swift raced consistently for a 7th place finish. Unfortunately, Trantham’s drive was cut short due to a technical issue. Swift said he left the UTV race with a clear picture on what needs to be done for success throughout the season.

The big news in the Wild Boar stop of the GNCC for Team UXC was the performance of Swift and Trantham in the Pro ATV race. After lap one, Swift was in a solid position in 4th, but Trantham was down in 10th. By the end of lap 2, Swift was up to 3rd and Trantham had caught and passed the other six riders in their class to pull himself up to 4th. In the end, Trantham took a very well-earned 2nd place in class and the overall. Swift finished just off the podium with a strong 4th.

Other ATV results were very positive for Team UXC as well. Tayton Swift continued his charge on the 90 Limited 8-12 class with a 2nd place finish after leaving the starting line last. Graham Widdicombe pulled out a 2nd place in the Senior 4x4 race.

K&N is proud to support Team UXC in the 2017 GNCC racing season.

Father Restores 1936 Ford and Leaves his Son with a Precious Heirloom

Mar 20, 2017

Lee Leighton restored this 1936 Ford F100 over a 30 year period and then passed it on to his son

If you were to take a trip back in time about 60 years and found yourself in Southern California, you probably wouldn’t recognize much of anything. Most cars don’t look anything like the cars we see today and even the classics that have been restored sometimes are modified to such an extent that their hardly recognizable. This however, is not the case with Jerry Leighton’s green 1936 Ford F100. Fast forward to today and you would see a very similar truck as you did in the 1950s.

Lee and Jerry wanted to keep the truck as close to stock as possible

The master of the build is family man, Lee Leighton, from Riverside, California. Lee originally bought the truck for light duty work and more interestingly, as a tow vehicle for EMPI and Revmaster back in the '50s and '60s. Lee himself raced in an EMPI Jouster Dragster and a Revmaster Gasser Dragster AKA “Inch Pinch” and used the truck to get the dragsters to and from the track.

When he wasn’t racing, he was in the garage building engines for his dragsters and others as well. Lee built record-setting VW engines and raced a red Volkswagen Bug, which was featured in Hot VW back in the 1960s. The car currently resides in Europe and is loved by many.

Race engines were Lee’s specialty, and he utilized his skills to beef up his 1936 Ford. Since it was used to tow dragsters, Lee thought it best to stick a 1950s Mopar 292ci Hemi in place of the original inline 6. Lee machined the heads and tuned the truck with his son Jerry Leighton, who now owns and regularly drives the truck.

Mopar 292 Hemi in 1936 Ford F100 with K&N Filter

Lee went with a K&N custom filter assembly to help the Mopar 292 Hemi breathe

The Hemi breathes through a K&N 66-1460 custom filter assembly atop the two Carter AFB 4-barrel carburetors. Despite the engine upgrade, Lee and Jerry wanted to keep the truck as close to stock as possible. One example is that the original Ford Pickup didn’t come with a radio, so they decided to keep it that way even with all of the great aftermarket vintage-style radios available online. The dash features the original Ford instrument cluster hiding behind an also-original Ford steering wheel. The upholstery is the original black color, with carpet to match under OEM rubber floor mats.

The 1936 Ford F100 is equipped with beautiful oak bed wood with stainless runners

A few of the small non-OEM modifications include roadster vented front disc brakes, with safety hubs in the rear. This mod is basically a must have, if this truck is to compete in today’s erratic driving conditions. It also has lap seat-belts out of a Cadillac, for obvious safety reasons.

The most obvious non-OEM modification is the graphic featured on the roof of the truck. The graphic contains a bald eagle with an American flag wrapped in the background and a banner with “USA” clutched in the eagle’s claws. This definitely pays tribute to the hundreds of Americans that made this truck a reality, including Lee and Jerry.

The truck features a custom graphic on the roof honoring America

In 2014, Lee Leighton passed away at the age of 85 but not before gifting the truck to his son on Jerry’s 61st birthday. Jerry says, “Thanks to my Dad for my 61st birthday gift, I’m driving [the truck] and showing it in style while keeping it maintained and clean.” Jerry can be found at a few of the local SoCal car shows like Route 66, Thunder on the Mountain, Way Lots Show & Go, and Veteran Summit in Lytle Creek.

Whenever possible, Lee used OEM Factory Ford parts in his restoration project

It’s clear that Jerry cherishes this truck and is continuously reminded of his father’s hard work every time he drives it. Jerry says, “We like everything about it, that’s the way Lee built it and it’s one of his best toys. Thanks Dad for building a wonderful truck. RIP 7/3/29 – 9/18/14."

A Complete Guide to K&N Dodge Dart Performance Parts

Mar 20, 2017

K&N can make the 2013-2016 Dodge Dart perform as good as it looks

K&N makes performance parts for the Dodge Dart, like this 2015 Dodge Dart 2.0L turbo

History of the new 2013-2016 Dodge Dart

In 2009, the Chrysler Corporation was about to shut its doors forever. Mercedes-Benz had bought the company back in 1998 for $57 billion. But they couldn't make it work, and eventually sold out for just $9 billion in 2007. The lucky buyer was a venture capital outfit called Cerberus Capital Management, and the bankruptcy court eventually decided that they couldn't make it work either. Then a blunt speaking French-Canadian named Sergio Marchionne decided to have a go at saving the storied American automaker. However, Mr. Marchionne wasn't just some starry eyed investor that insisted on wearing a fuzzy black sweater every single day. He was the CEO of a massive Italian car company called Fiat, and the merger would give them access to a huge U.S. dealer network. It also gave Chrysler access to a huge portfolio of ready-made engines and car platforms, which meant they could start creating new models almost immediately. The first of these new Italian-American collaborative cars was a compact sedan called the Dodge Dart. It rode on a modified Alfa Romeo Giulietta platform, and had an aggressive look that would come to embody the Dodge brand.

Behind the distinctive crosshair grille were a selection of new engines that were codeveloped by Fiat and Chrysler engineers. The base 2013-2016 Dodge Dart 2.0L Tigershark 4cyl used advanced engine tech like dual-variable valve timing to make 160-hp and 148 lb-ft of torque. The 2013-2016 Dodge Dart Turbo is powered by the 1.4T FIRE 4cyl (aka 1.4L MultiAir Turbo). Designed by Fiat, this Fully Integrated Robotised Engine (i.e FIRE) uses an intercooled turbo, along with their MultiAir electro-hydraulic variable valve timing system, which improves the power and fuel efficiency by constantly adjusting the amount of air going into the motor. All of this results in a Dodge Dart 1.4T that makes 160-hp, and an impressive 184 lb-ft of torque at just 2500 rpm. And finally, the top-spec 2013-2016 Dodge Dart 2.4L Tigershark uses the more advanced MultiAir 2 VVT system to make 184-hp and 174 lb-ft. This motor provides the sport-flavored Dodge Dart GT enough power to backup its sinister looks. But if you want to get more performance from any of these engines, then checkout these K&N Dodge Dart performance parts.

K&N Replacement Air Filter

Get excellent engine protection on the 2013-2016 Dodge Dart with a K&N air filter

K&N 33-2491 Replacement Air Filter

Engineered for these variations of the 2013-2016 Dodge Dart:

2013-2016 Dodge Dart 2.0L Tigershark

2013-2016 Dodge Dart 1.4L MultiAir Turbo

2013-2016 Dodge Dart 2.4L Tigershark

The MultiAir system in your 2013-2016 Dodge Dart engine is able to instantly adjust the engine airflow to provide better fuel economy when you're just puttering around, and more power when you really step on it. To maximize the efficiency of this highly advanced variable valve timing system, the K&N 33-2491 replacement air filter uses a low restriction cotton gauze filter media. Plus it's reusable, and your factory warranty won't be affected.

K&N Cold Air Intake Systems

K&N 69-2547TS Typhoon Performance Intake System

A K&N 69-2547TS Typhoon Intake will give your Dodge Dart 2.0L Tigershark a lot more 'bite'

Although the 2.0L Tigershark is considered to be the base engine in the new generation 2013-2016 Dodge Dart, the MultiAir variable valve timing system is surprisingly advanced technology to be included at this pricepoint. So if you want to get the most out of this continuously adjusting air intake control system, then you'll need to install a K&N 69-2547TS Typhoon Performance Intake System. It's designed to maximize airflow to the engine by replacing the restrictive factory air box with an oversized high-flow K&N performance air filter that can capture and clean a higher volume of cold air than the paper OE Dodge Dart air filter. That oxygen rich air then travels to the motor through a low restriction aluminum intake tube, and once it's injected into the cylinders, it can create a much hotter detonation that releases more energy/horsepower from the gasoline. In fact, we installed this performance air intake on a 2013 Dodge Dart 2.0L, and dyno testing showed an estimated increase of 3.85 horsepower & 2.66 lb-ft of torque.

K&N 69-2548TS Typhoon Performance Intake System

The K&N 69-2548TS Typhoon Intake will give your 2013-2016 Dodge Dart Turbo a serious boost in power

Your 2013-2014 Dodge Dart 1.4L MultiAir Turbo is able to produce the power of a much larger engine by combining the airflow from an intercooled turbo, with the precision of the MultiAir VVT air intake control system. If you want to achieve the maximum effect of these two systems, then you need to check out the K&N 69-2548TS Typhoon Performance Intake System. It replaces the Dodge Dart Turbo intake system, with a high-flow K&N performance air filter that's connected to a low restriction K&N aluminum intake tube. Together, they send a large volume of cold air to the turbo, which then allows the intercooler to create a much colder oxygen-rich aircharge for the engine. To verify the performance gains, we installed one of these K&N Typhoon performance intake systems on a 2013 Dodge Dart 1.4T, and dyno testing revealed an estimated increase of 7.26 horsepower & 8.63 lb-ft of torque.

K&N Oil Filters

Get exceptional engine protection on your 2013-2016 Dodge Dart with a K&N PS-1017 Oil Filter

To improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce cost, many automakers will use the same parts on a number of different models. These interchangeable components can be purchased in bulk, and it keeps the line workers from having to slow down when different models come down the assembly line. This is why the following K&N Performance Oil Filters can be used across the 2013-2016 Dodge Dart model range.

Engineered for these variations of the 2013-2016 Dodge Dart:

It doesn't matter if your Dodge Dart has the 2.0L Tigershark, the 2.4L Tigershark, or the 1.4L MultiAir Turbo, a K&N PS-1017 Performance Silver Oil Filter can provide exceptional protection against dirt, sludge, and other harmful oil contaminates. It has the same high-flow and high filtration that K&N air filters are known for, because the low restriction filter media allows more oil to flow through. The increased oil flow rate means that more oil gets cleaned, faster. Plus the heavy duty canister is designed to handle the increased oil pressure that occurs during spirited driving.

A K&N Wrench Off Oil Filter protects your Dodge Dart engine during a race or the drive to work

K&N HP-1017 Wrench-off Oil Filter

Designed to endure extreme punishment on a racetrack, the K&N HP-1017 Wrench-off Oil Filter can protect your Dodge Dart engine, no matter where you drive it. It uses a unique resin-impregnated cellulose filter media that can remove 99% of the oil contaminants, while significantly increasing the oil flow rate for excellent engine protection at high RPMs. The heavy duty steel canister can withstand higher oil pressure, and damage from road debris. There's also a 1 inch hex nut welded to the top of the canister for easy wrench off removal. And if you need to pass inspection at a racetrack, you can attach a safety wire through the pre-drilled hole in the hex nut.

The Epic Team-Up: Vaughn Gittin, Jr, Chelsea DeNofa Join Forces in Formula Drift

Mar 20, 2017

Formula Drift drivers Chelsea DeNofa and Vaughn Gittin, Jr. Team-Up in Mustang RTR Spec 5-Ds

It’s easily one of the most shocking but most impressive team-ups in Formula Drift. The Professional Fun Haver, Vaughn Gittin, Jr., and The Hard Charger, Chelsea DeNofa, join forces in Formula D for the 2017 season. However, Chelsea is leaving behind his trademark BMW for the Blue Oval and will run in a similar specification Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5-D. We give you a sneak peek of both cars that will run with K&N filters on their Ford Motorsports engines.

Chelsea already feeling that "three-wheel motion."

It’s great to see Chelsea DeNofa — winner of last season’s Streets of Long Beach race — as a second driver for RTR Motorsports and become a K&N driver for the 2017 season. His “never say die and put it all on the line” attitude speaks volumes and will be a great mix with Gittin, the 2010 Formula Drift Champion. Chelsea will be competing alongside Vaughn Gittin Jr. all season in a unique liveried, identical spec RTR Spec 5-D.

Vaughn's proven he's ready for another championship.

The first event for both cars and drivers will be at the Streets of Long Beach on March 31st and April 1st in Long Beach, California. The temporary street circuit will be a challenge as new pavement has been put down and the walls are always a danger at any time. Last year, DeNofa went all the way for his first ever FD professional win and now has a championship proven team to back him up. With a new teammate under his banner, Vaughn also has an asset under his belt for more data but will challenge him behind the wheel. Could this team-up mean more wins for DeNofa and a championship for Gittin? Only time will tell but if 2016 was any indication, the world of Formula Drift isn’t ready for this.
