Description
When your Freightliner is running routes day after day or hauling loads cross-country, clean air is what keeps that diesel engine running strong mile after mile. Road dust, highway debris, and exhaust from other vehicles all want to get into your air intake system, and a dirty or worn filter lets that contamination through to damage expensive engine components. This Baldwin air filter does exactly what it's supposed to do—keep the bad stuff out so your engine can breathe clean and run reliable.
Key Features
- Large 9 29/32 inch outer diameter with 8 1/32 inch length for maximum filtration surface area
- Attached A-gasket provides a secure seal that won't leak unfiltered air into your engine
- Multi-layer filtration media traps fine particles while maintaining proper airflow for performance
- Direct replacement design fits perfectly without modifications or adapters
- Works with PA4701 secondary filter for complete two-stage protection
Built for Real Highway Work
This filter is engineered specifically for Freightliner buses and trucks that spend their lives on highways, city streets, and loading docks. Whether you're running a transit route, making deliveries, or pulling a trailer coast to coast, these vehicles work in environments where air quality can change from clean highway air to diesel-heavy truck stops and dusty construction zones. The two-stage system with this primary filter catches the big stuff first.
Made to Last
Baldwin has been making quality filters for decades, and this one's built to handle the constant vibration, temperature swings, and high airflow demands of commercial diesel engines. The pleated media holds its shape even when loaded with contaminants, and the attached gasket maintains its seal through thousands of engine cycles.
Installation Notes
This is a direct replacement that installs in minutes with basic tools. Always check your air cleaner housing for cracks or damage while you've got the old filter out—any air leak bypasses all your filtration. In dusty conditions or heavy traffic areas, you might need to service filters more frequently than standard intervals to maintain peak engine performance.
