Das Fahrerhaus eines LKWs ist, wo der Fahrer isst, schläft und arbeitet. Es sollte die sauberste Luft habe, die möglich ist.

So gut wie alle von uns fahren zur Arbeit. Jedoch für einige von uns ist das Fahren die Arbeit. Diese Männer und Frauen verbringen Tag für Tag in der Kabine von ihrem Fahrzeug. Das kann die Schutzpolizei sein, Lieferpersonal oder LKW-Fahrer und weitere Berufe. Für die meisten LKW-Fahrer ist die Straße ihr Zuhause. Sie essen, schlafen, und arbeiten in der Kabine ihrer Lastkraftwagen. Sie sehen alle Teile ihres Landes, das Gute und Schlechte, und alles das damit kommt. Das Schlechte, von dem wir hier sprechen, ist der Pollen, Staub, Keime, Sporen, Pilze, Schimmel, Mehltau und alles andere in der Luft, das ein LKW-Fahrer tagein und tagaus erleiden müssen. Wenn Sie ein LKW-Fahrer sind und so viel Zeit in der Kabine des LKWs verbringen, warum machen Sie die Kabine nicht ein wenig einladender?

Dank K&N können Sie genau das tun. Als ein Teil der K&N Linie von waschbaren und wiederverwendbaren Innenraumfiltern, haben sie den K&N VF8000 eingeführt. Dieses Innenraumfilter ersetzt das ab Fabrik Innenraumfilter in den meisten 2002 und neueren Freightliner-LKWs, einschließlich der Century Class, Columbia und Coronado und Cascadia Modelle. K&N Innenraumfilter sind die ersten ihrer Art entwickelt, um das ab Fabrik Innenraumfilter mit einer waschbaren und wiederverwendbaren Version zu ersetzen. Diese Filter reinigen und erfrischen die einströmende Luft, entfernen potenziell schädliche Stoffe, bevor die Luft in das Fahrerhaus des LKWs einströmt.

Dank der waschbaren und wiederverwendbaren Eigenschaften dieser Filter, wenn das Filter verschmutzt ist, anstatt es wegzuwerfen und Geld für ein neues Papier Luftfilter auszugeben, reinigen Sie es einfach mit dem K&N 99-6000 Kabinenluftfilter Reiniger. Sobald das Filter sauber gespült, sprayen Sie es mit dem K&N Refresher Spray, das in den Reinigungskit enthalten ist. Dieses Spray gibt dem Filter elektrostatische Eigenschaften. Damit grapscht es tatsächlich Verunreinigungen und hält sie fest, bis es wieder Zeit ist, das Filter zu reinigen.

K&N ist sich so sicher über die Qualität ihrer Innenraumluftfilter, dass man es mit einer 10-Jahre/100.000 Meilen beschränkten Garantie abdeckt. Die Filter halten wegen der Qualität der Materialien bei der Herstellung so lange. Zuerst ist das innovative synthetische Filtermedium zwischen zwei Lagen von Epoxy beschichteten Aluminium Gittern. Das gibt dem Filter Steifigkeit und Haltbarkeit. Das ist dann für zusätzliche Fläche plissiert und sitzt in einem Urethan-Rahmen für einen OE Einbach.

Wenn Sie viele Meilen in Ihrem LKW gefahren haben und haben Ihr Innenraumfilter schon lange nicht überprüft, sollten Sie einen Blick auf das K&N Sortiment von Innenraumluftfiltern werfen. Ein gesättigtes Innenraumluftfilter belastet auch Ihren Gebläsemotor unnötig, also wird ein Wechsel zu einem waschbaren Filter vielleicht auch teure Reparaturkosten und Ausfallzeiten verhindern. Um herauszufinden, ob K&N ein Ersatzfilter für Ihren LKW herstellt, können Sie die Querreferenz Suche benutzen und nach Ihrem Filterhersteller suchen. Und wenn sie kein LKW-Fahrer sind, der einen Freightliner fährt, dann macht K&N auch waschbare Innenraumluftfilter für Autos, Pick-ups und SUVs. Checken sie das K&N Anwendungstool aus und finden Sie das richtige Produkt für Ihre Bedürfnisse.

Das K&N VF8000 wurde für die 2002-heute Freightliner Columbia und Coronado LKWs hergestellt.

2016-2017 Toyota Land Cruisers Gain Power Using K&N 77 Series Air Intake System

K&N intakes are designed to reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten air flow

The K&N 77-series air intake system is designed with both style and performance in mind

The Toyota Land Cruiser is known from the Amazon to Antarctica to be one of the most capable SUVs outside of special vehicles sold only to the military. Featuring a sturdy body-on-frame configuration and a 5.7L V8 that delivers 381 horsepower and diesel-like torque, combined with an eight-speed automatic and full-time four-wheel drive, the 2016 – 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser is the ride of choice when there’s no roads where you’re headed.

The 2016-2017 Land Cruiser utilizes Toyota’s well-proven full-time four-wheel-drive system. Choice of either the high- or low-range are made selected by turning a console-mounted dial. The center mechanical differential is a Torsen torque-sensing unit set to a 40/60 front-to-rear torque split, but has the ability to self-adjust if more power is needed at one end or the other. Both brake and throttle are controlled by Toyota’s Active Traction, if the situation demands. Meanwhile the driver has his or her choice of settings (Multi-Terrain, Crawl, Downhill Assist, Mogul, and Hill-Start Assist) to optimize performance for the terrain being traversed.

While the Toyota Land Cruiser’s 5.7L V8 produces 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque, one has to recall that the motor is pulling around nearly three tons of mass. That’s part of the Land Cruiser’s strength, but also one of its weaknesses. Go back to the turn of the century and Chevrolet was producing 350 horsepower out of the technically inferior 5.7L LS1 engine.

The heat shield is isolated from the engine compartment by automotive grade seals

The heat shield isolates the filter from underhood heat, allowing only cold air to flow to the motor

What your 2016 – 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser needs is a shot of horsepower, and K&N has the boost. The K&N 77-9040KP air intake system adds 15.12 horsepower at the wheels. That’s an instant increase in performance and throttle response.

Cool, fresh air first enters a chrome-topped RF-1044 K&N high-flow air filter positioned within a heat shield that installs into the space of the factory air box. Much of the performance increase can be attributed to the oversized conical air filter manufactured from multiple layers of oiled cotton filter media which offers greater surface area and thus less resistance than traditional filters but provides outstanding engine protection.

Engine protection is provided by a multi-layered cotton material, which filters out fine particles of dirt and dust that could damage your engine, to ensure a long engine life. Each design is verified through K&N’s in-house filtration testing lab, which adheres to ISO 5011 standards, ensuring that K&N filters provide high airflow without putting engine protection at risk.

Installation of the K&N 77-9040KP kit should take less than a Saturday morning

Everything needed to install your new K&N 77-series performance air intake is included in the box

Further the heat shield protects the cool incoming air from being affected by high underhood temperatures. The cooler the air is as it flows into the engine, the more power the engine can generate.

The intake tube of a K&N cold air intake significantly reduces restriction to incoming air flow over the stock item, as well as calms power-robbing turbulence. Air passes through an aerodynamically-verified polished aluminum intake tube directly into the engine’s throttle body. The intake tube accommodates the factory mass air sensor, fuel pressure hose, and crankcase vent hose.

Best of all, the K&N intake system can be installed in 90 minutes or less with simple hand tools like a ratchet set, a few screwdrivers, and a couple of wrenches. All tools required are listed in the clear, step-by-step photo-illustrated instructions specific to your car that come included in the package.

K&N's pleated cotton filters provide incremental surface area for both air intake and dirt c

The large eight inch, chrome-capped conical filter provides maximum surface area for incoming air

And once you’ve installed your K&N filter you’ve eliminated the need to buy another air filter for the life of your covered Land Cruiser. Only a simple DIY service is required to maintain your K&N Filter at peak performance. At intervals of 100,000 miles (depending upon your driving conditions) use the K&N 99-5000 recharger kit to quickly clean and refresh your K&N air filter, preparing it for another 100,000 miles of driving. The K&N air filter you purchase is designed to last the lifetime of your vehicle, which K&N guarantees will perform for up to 10 years or 1,000,000 miles without requiring replacement.

The K&N 77-9040KP is designed to fit the following vehicles:

The YA-1515 is designed for excellent filtration and added airflow

Yamaha’s “underbone” frame-style T150 motorcycles are big sellers world-wide for good reason. The Yamaha T150 is badged in various markets as the Exciter, Sniper, King, Jupiter, or more subtly as the Y15 ZR. The little bikes are nimble, rider friendly, and affordable. In short, they are a fantastic mix of scooter and motorcycle.

Anytime you are dealing with a limited displacement motor like the 149.7 cc single in the Yamaha, a boost in performance is a welcome thing. That is the design goal of the K&N YA-1515.

The YA-1515 features K&N’s free-flowing cotton gauze filter media that increases airflow to the engine. That boost in intake volume often results in crisper throttle response and quicker acceleration.

The same pleated, oiled, cotton gauze filter material that provides ample airflow, also filters that air very efficiently. K&N’s in-house filter testing resulted in an impressive estimated overall filtration efficiency of over 98% with the YA-1515.

That estimated efficiency will keep the Yamaha T150 running clean and safe. You can access all of the test protocols and results by clicking on the "Air Filter Test Data" link on the product details page.

A couple of the most appealing features of the Yamaha T150 are the bike’s low-maintenance requirements and environmental friendliness. The washable and reusable nature of the YA-1515 enhances these traits even more.

Cleaning is made simple with the K&N 99-5000 filter recharge kit, and K&N’s Million-Mile Limited Warranty means you will not need to buy another filter for the life of your Yamaha.

When you combine the YA-1515’s excellent filtration, reusability, and the possibility for a bit more power, it emerges as the clear air filtration choice for your Yamaha T150. Check the application list below, and consult K&N’s easy-to-navigate online application tool.

Mechanical Issues and Race Contact Keep Greg Adler Off Podium in LOORRS Opener

Greg Adler racing at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park, in Chandler, Arizona

Adler battled to the third position in both races in Chandler, Arizona before having truck issues

K&N-sponsored Greg Adler and Team 4 Wheel Parts began their assault on the 2017 short course off-road racing season in Arizona’s Valley of the Sun. The season got off to a hot start…literally. The temperatures at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park, in Chandler, Arizona, were unseasonably hot with temperatures flirting with triple digits for the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS) season kick off.

The series' marquee Pro4 division drivers took little time in demonstrating just how anxious they were to get back to racing and to put on a spectacular show for the fans in attendance. That first-race adrenaline manifested itself in an abundance of aggressive driving. The first three laps of the race were littered with caution flags and extreme contact. Doing his best to stay free of the carnage, Adler methodically worked his way through the field.

"After a few days here at the track setting up, testing, and then qualifying for the race, these guys were ready to go today," said Adler. "It took us the first three laps just to get a clean start, but when we did, it developed into a great race. There was plenty of beating and banging but that's what Pro4 racing is. This is not a sport for the timid."

While trying to steer clear of some of the unreasonably aggressive driving at Wild Horse, Adler continued his pursuit of the leaders as he battled towards podium contention. With ten laps to go in the 18-lap main event, he made his move with a strong pass to capture into the third spot. Unfortunately, as Alder battled to maintain the position, there was a mechanical failure that abruptly halted his advance and ended his day.

"We were on a good run and had the speed to finish strong today. Things move quickly out there. We raced hard, made some passes, and moved through the field to put ourselves in a great spot. Then in a moment, the truck has an issue and your race is done."

After a late night, Crew Chief Mike Seat and the 4 Wheel Parts team had the 900-HP Pro4 ready for the second race of the weekend's doubleheader. A solid qualifying effort secured a second row start for Adler. When the flag dropped, a fantastic start resulted in Adler moving into the third spot. With a tightly packed field jostling for position, Adler’s #10 truck made contact with another racer. The contact damaged Adler’s front tire, which would present a serious dilemma just laps later.

Just after the mid-point in the race, Adler was solidly planted in third but was facing a difficult choice. He could opt for a tire change or he could stay on the course and risk potentially catastrophic damage to his truck. Adler elected to pull off the track and into the pits.

Even with a quick return to the track, Adler found himself a lap down to the leaders, a gap that would prove insurmountable. While he finished the event, the result was not indicative of the on-track effort and pace he maintained throughout the day.

"It's disappointing," said Adler. "The guys were up late to give me a great truck and we came out battling for a podium. Today was a much different race. For the most part, everyone kept it clean and there weren't a lot of opportunities for us to get caught up with the field. What we do know is that this team has a strong chin and can take a punch. We stayed on our feet to make sure we brought it home to the finish today. Now we're going to be coming out swinging in Ensenada."

Certainly Adler and Team 4 Wheel Parts will be chomping at the bit for the return to Chandler which is scheduled as the site for the season finale. However, there is a lot of racing in various venues before that return will come to fruition.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr Picks Up First Career Win in the Geico 500 at Talladega Speedway

Ricky Stenhouse Jr celebrating his win at the Geico 400

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won his first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race of his career, coming in his 158th race and did so in serious fashion. In the Geico 500 at Talladega Speedway, Stenhouse Jr. passed Jamie McMurray on the final lap, beating McMurray by 0.95 of a second, propelling him to reach the checkered flag for the first time.

"This is for all the guys at the shop--we’ve been terrible for a long time," Stenhouse said. "This year, every race, we’re just getting better and better. We knew Talladega was a good race track for us. It’s been a good one in the past.”

The win was an uphill climb for Stenhouse, as he led for the first 13 laps of the race, and did not lead again until the penultimate lap. Stenhouse received 49 points and 5 playoff points. He currently sits in 12th place in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series standings.

“It feels really good to get that first win here” Stenhouse said. “I remember sitting in the bus watching this race and knowing that this is a racetrack that we've had good success at, we've ran well. You know, so close to home. It feels awesome to get the first win here.”

Jamie McMurray finished in second place, 0.95 seconds away from finishing in first, and getting his first win of the season. McMurray was passed by Stenhouse Jr. on the final lap, after passing Kyle Busch in the process.

“Like there's times when you feel like you're going to have a good run and you don't, and then there's other times that it happens,” McMurray said. "So it was a good overall day for us.”

Kyle Busch finished in third place, who led three times for 48 laps. Busch led for a race high 39 straight laps before being passed.

“Overall we had a great car,” Busch said. “We were up front the beginning part of the race, kind of fell back, like McMurray said, through the middle stage of the race, and then got back up there at the end. We were in the dog seat and the position to win, we just had to hold him off, and we didn't do it.”

A crash on lap 169 wrecked 18 of the 38 cars in the race. Chase Elliott tapped the back of AJ Allmendinger’s car, and flipped onto the hood of Joey Logano’s car. The stoppage took 26 minutes to clean up, Busch restarted in first place.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished in 22nd place in his last spring race of his career.

Kyle Larson continues to be in first place in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Standings with 428 points and 7 playoff points. Martin Truex Jr. is in second place with 374 points and 10 playoff points. Brad Keselowski is in third place with 367 points and 11 playoff points.

The next race in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will be at the Go Bowling 400 at Kansas Speedway.
