FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DONALDSON BRAND AFTERMARKET POWERCORE(TM) AIR CLEANERS
NOW AVAILABLE TO UPGRADE FORD(R) 7.3 LITER DIESEL TRUCKS
New aftermarket PowerCore air cleaner and replacement filters available at all Authorized Donaldson Dealers and Distributors
MINNEAPOLIS, June 2005 - Ford(r) 7.3 liter diesel engine truck owners can now upgrade their air induction system to a patented* Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI) branded aftermarket air cleaner and replacement filter that uses PowerCore(tm) Filtration Technology. The PowerCore filter has twice the amount of filter media as conventional pleated media used in traditional engine filtration solutions. The upgraded air cleaner is designed for greater dust holding capacity and efficiency with no impact to engine performance (airflow) compared to the originally installed air induction system.
This Donaldson system can be used on 1999 to 2003 Model Year F250-550 Super Duty trucks equipped with the 7.3-liter diesel engine. This system is designed for vehicles used in extremely dusty/dirty air conditions. The increased dust holding capacity of the PowerCore air cleaner allows for much longer duty cycles in the most severe conditions compared to using the stock filtering system.
First introduced in 1999 as a smaller, more efficient alternative to conventional air filter systems, Donaldson PowerCore filtration technology was initially used in off-road equipment and heavy-duty truck air intake applications. The PowerCore filter features a revolutionary, fluted media design to further improve air filtration and a new racetrack shape. Noticeably different in shape and style than other filtration technologies, the technology continues to be adapted for use in a wide range of vehicles and engine sizes.
PowerCore, used in Ford's newer 6.0-liter diesel engine air induction system, is now available for 7.3-liter engines direct from Donaldson authorized distributors. More information can be found at the following link: http://www.donaldson.com/en/engine/support/datalibrary/035390.pdf.
*US Design Patent No. D484,584 S.
