Snow Clogs Up Works for Ford F-Super Duty

Dec. 15, 2021

Some 2011-2016 Ford F-Super Duty trucks equipped with a 6.7L engine may exhibit a loss of power due to snow packing in or around the engine air cleaner when operated in extreme snow conditions or when equipped with a snowplow. This may result in diagnostic (DTC) P0299 and P1247. A low restriction secondary foam filter is available to resolve this concern.

Remove the air cleaner cover and element. Clear any snow and/or ice from the housing inlet. Discard the foam filter element. Install the new low restriction secondary foam element. Install the air cleaner element, cover and reset the restriction gauge.

The low restriction secondary foam element is available as P/N BC3Z-9601-D.
