Scott,
I have an 89 4x4 with an Amsoil oiled foam filter. These are comperable to
the K&N in there ability to flow air and are better at holding dirt. There
is no noticable performance difference and I do not drive the truck
consistently over the same roads so I can't judge if there is an mpg
increase. On my Daytona I picked up about .5mpg over a paper filter.
The next time you need an exhaust go with a free flow muffler and larger
diameter pipes. If you can afford another $100 go with a free flow cat also.

ps: there is no computer available for your 89
