i used it twice in 2 different engines 20+ years ago and both ended up with a stuck valve while it was in there. coincidence maybe. but i sure as heck wont take a chance on it again. calvin wrote now that the k&n seems to have faded away any opinions on whether slick 50 is worth it. just bought an 3.7l 04 dakota will probably average 40k/year on it. had 200k on my 98 dakota used slick 50 am debating whether to do so again. cal .
