I own a gulfstream Cresendo 2005 on a freighliner chasis with a catapillar C-7 engine diesel 350 hp
since brand new the air filter sensor shows clogged, and when the filter was just replaced new, then after just driving about 170 miles to 360 miles then it will show that is was time to replace it, I ended up pulling the filter to see myself and it had a lot of dust, this is so ridiculous that I have to spend about $90 to replace a air filter that gets clogged fast, it is of a brand named Ecco and its a canister, between frightliner and Gulfstream blaming themself for the issue , I ended up always paying for the repair and just to end up with the same issue . They designed the air intake to be taken at the rear almost at the top of the roof of the unit , and at the rear I noticed that it gets dirty , the walls of the motorhome at the rear, so I can inmagine that more dusts collects there, so I have seen other motorhomes that have rear engines and the air intake is placed on the rear on the driver side of the motorhome, looks like a square vent , is there anyone that has done a conversion to fix this problem, I am affarid just to buy the more expensive filter just to end up with the same issue, can anyone help and let me know please.
thanks
Victor
