Ford 1999-2003 7.3L AIS Severe Duty

What would you think about having an Air Induction System (AIS) for your 1999-2003, 7.3L Powerstroke whose technology was battle tested in "operation Iraqi Freedom"? What if you could purchase an air filtration system that would hold more dust and soot extending filter life along with filtering more contaminates, all with less restriction than any other conventional pleated filter?

If you are a proud owner of the new 6.0L Powerstroke in the F-Series or Excursion, you already have the advantage of the PowerCore air filtration technology. Ford and Motorcraft engineers have designed an AIS sever Duty kit using PowerCore technology to be compatible to F-250-F550 Super Duty trucks and Excursions built after Jan. 1, 1998.

The new AIS Severe Duty kit with Donaldson PowerCore technology is especially beneficial for those who work in demanding environments. In fact the Abrams M1A2 tank uses PowerCore air filter technology to make its 1,500 hp gas turbine engine have a constant supply of clean air in all conditions, including desert dust storms. Most of us will not be in extreme conditions of a battle tank, but may encounter dusty on-off road conditions that can eat up a regular filter in no time flat.

When you look at an AIS Severe Duty filter, you may notice its unique appearance, shape and straight through air flow design. The AIS Severe Duty filtration device looks a lot like cardboard. In fact similar technology is used to corrugate layers of media into narrow channels or flutes. Opposite ends of each flute are sealed turning the layers of the flutes into a high density filter. The air flow goes in one end and out the other, passing through the high tech material along the way.

The straight-through design results in lower restriction due to fewer air direction changes. Lower restriction means improved operation and longer filter life. Other after market filter suppliers can claim lower restrictions, many by offering washable filters, but usually at the expense of harmful dirt and soot getting into the engine.

The AIS Severe Duty filtration utilizes Web Nano-fiber, which results in contaminant filtration over 400 times more efficient than comparable washable filters. In comparison to a washable filter, the AIS Severe Duty filter has 17 times the amount of filtration area, which is one of the reasons it can hold so much more dust. More filter area increases dust capturing and holding capacity and keeps filters from plugging.

In addition, the AIS Severe Duty filter holds almost five times the dust of a comparable washable filter. This means that a washable filter will plug faster and your engine will work harder to pump air, as opposed tot he AIS Severe Duty filter.
