I second the snorkel idea, as well as the foam around the K&N if you’re doing a lot of off roading. Also, with the cabin air filter, you can probably find a household one that you can cut down.
watch when you clean the K&N filter, you have to add some oil to it after cleaning. If you put to much oil it screws up your maf (mass air flow) sensor. Ford wont fix that under warranty if they find that.
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV you made a good purchase, my brother has a K&N in his mustang GT, has had it for years. Ford just put a recall on the Bronco for the headlight switch, some people been reporting there lights going on when no one is in the vehicle. Says Ford is redesigning the switch. New one comes in October
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV well you know the cooling fins on a radiator or intercooler are spaced tight and dirt and or mud can block airflow. Intercooler airflow restrictions can cause hotter air on the intake.
I've had oiled filters in my focus RS and fusion for about 20k miles. No issues at all I'd say thats a myth and is caused by people over oiling them. I've had a K&N system on my 04 ranger for well over 100k miles no issues.
Hi Krista. I think you need a snorkel on that thing with an automatic blowback feature for your air filter lol. I'm not surprised at how dirty your filters were after that event you just did. It was seriously dusty there. Thanks for the video and keep having fun with that bronco. 592 days and counting for my bronco... 😁
One thing I learned about having a canon style filter on a turbo vehicle. It is beneficial to have the air filter sock to keep the large stuff from getting in bedded into the filter like bugs.
When I was young I always fitted a K&N air filter to my new vehicles. After finding fine desert dust coating inside the throttle body of my first Jeep, I switched back to paper filters. I have never had dirt get past a paper filter from WIX or Mopar. My Jeep is 30 years old next April. If you plan on keeping your Bronco you can't go wrong with the OEM filter. Getting the outside of a filter dirty when driving off road is normal. Off road driving requires more frequent vehicle maintenance, air filters are just one aspect.
Krista Sweetheart do whatever you want to OK. 🙏 But you need to get a Dry filter from K&N or whoever 1st, they're usually blue but can be red !!! Oil coated filters aren't good !!! Then get the filter mesh cover for it "Not the Foam", just use that when you are going off-road that saves the filter from dirt and water !!! The other thing you need to get rid of the factory air system and go with at least a 3in tube cold air system, obviously use the other stuff, You will notice a nice difference !!! if anyone tells you different they don't know what they are talking about, Don't believe me take the tube off of the throttle body and look at how dirty it is, Clean it and the air mass sensor in the air tube and I guarantee you it's going to run 10 times better !!! Summit Racing should have what I'm talking about and maybe RockAuto might have it.
Another thing, the Throttle Body has it's own cleaning spray and the Mass Airflow Sensor has its own cleaning spray. But they last a few cleanings. 3 maybe 4 But it's Worth it !!!

Great idea!
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV I’m not just another pretty face😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Try cross referencing the bronco sport cabin filter with the full size, they look the same but don’t have dimensions of the full size Broncos yet
I will, thanks!

Thanks, now I’m second guessing myself on my purchase 😩

How is your radiator and intercooler doing with all the mud?
Not sure, do you suggest I check on something in particular?

@@christophertyacke6019 I need to do a once over on everything
Omg that was filthy
Filthy animal lol
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV 😆
You should have a foam cover over the K&N.
Tell me more please!
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV sent you the link.
I have heard the oiled filters are bad for turbos, that being said I know they make oil less ones as well!
I have not heard this, I will need to research

I keep an extra K&N filter so I can take the dirty one out and stick a clean one in while the other is being cleaned, dried and oiled.
I do the same thing only I just keep a OEM as extra.
Great idea!

It would be a good idea to get one 😂 I hope you don’t have to add to many days to that and your bronco comes soon 🤞
I had to get the cabin airfilter from ford. Was like $35

K&N style filters let in more air but they also let in more dirt. I use Wix.
I’ll check it out

K&N is not meant for off-road vehicles.. paper filters are always better
spending more than a hundred bucks on something to dredge thru mud is just bad business.
You should check on snorkel air in take set up might save you on air filters
That’s a great idea!
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV check with mitch from tc custom
I went the for the volant air intake, with the donaldson powercore filter.
Cool!
I heard k&n filters do a bad job of actually filtering and let through a lot of contaminants.
I have had no issues.
Wait. What is that mini vacuum you have there? I’ve been needing something like that. And does it have plenty of power?
It’s a Cordless dyson! I got it on sale at Costco and i looooove it!
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV Thank you for the info. I’m all over that as my next purchase.
@@79thump8 it’s the best vacuum ever 🙌
@@BuckleUpButtercupTV This will totally change what my daughter is allowed to eat in the car.
My air box had Mexican rice in the bottom mouse or the Bronco got hungry I don't know
Wow
Have you done a muffler delete I can't find one any where
Good stuff Krista. Thanks for sharing this Video.

Here's hoping that you are more attentive to changing feminine hygiene products than you are with Bronco filters. 😂
