    I agree hence why I changed it. Only 6 months worth of debris. It is foam and seems like the fresh air door stripping to me.

    I just pulled my cab filter out now and it had that exact piece of foam tape or whatever it is and someone had been chewing on the top of the filter also.:censored: no signs of oust crap though. truck is driven 40+ miles a day so its not from sitting unused for days on end.:frusty:

    That appears to be a piece of garbage that was sucked in. Might wanna think about screening the intake before the mice find it.

    I just checked mine which is @ 13 months, holy cow it was dirty. Then I checked my wife's Sienna which is @ 11 years, even holier cow. Thanks for the tip.
