So has everybody seen the new fram boost air intake? I signed up for the fram400 contest and just recieved my winner conformation today!! Said it'll be be here in 4-6 weeks. I have been lookin and comparing air intakes since I bought the truck. I guess it's a good thing I didn't buy one, cause now I get to try one for FREE :)

 

Oh well had to share my joy.

Only problem is i have heard nothing but horrible news regarding any fram product.Not sure how any performance lines for them are but as far as there regular products, they have been bashed into the dirt the last couple years regarding quality and reliability of the products they sell.

I agree. I do not use any of their products for that reason. But a free alluminum tube (at the least if I change filter) is well worth what it cost me. I run K&N's in my other rides and if you look around you will find bad press on those too. I plan on checking the tube often (for the first couple of months) to see if there is any dirt makig it thru. I'll post up a review when I get it and install it.

 

 

Since this has got to be the first thing I have ever WON I am still stoked (if only it could have been the lottery :) )

Did you guys ever get the product?  How did it perform?

 

Sorry for pulling up an old thread....

 

 

 

 

 

A buddy of mine got one recently and it is junk. It does let dirt in the TB. He took it off after about a week. I would NEVER buy a Fram product. Quality has declined drastically over the last few years. Years ago it was top of the line, but not even close now.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
