Hi Will....Welcome to the DML.
IN regards to the drop-in K&N filters, they do NOT screw anything up and
they trap more dirt (and "other" things in the air) than any other element.
This is mainly due to the oil that's on the filter. They also flow better
as well.
You can use a drop-in but for performance, you really need to get rid of the
stock air-box and replace it with either a K&N Gen-II or QuickD. The K&N
Part Number is: 57-1509.
With swapping in 3.90 gears, GO FOR IT!! They don't degrade mileage as most
people would think and the performance is much better as well.

Hi there.
I am a new member to the Dakota mailing list, which by the way seems
like an amazing resource and great idea. I have a 2 month old 99 2wd
club cab DAK, 318 auto, tire and handling package etc. Anyways my
question is These K&N drop in air filters. I have seen a few posts where
some people mention that they dont trap all the dirt and can screw your
engine up in the long run. Is their any truth to these rumors?. Seems
like 99% of the folks on the mailing list use them so iam hopping this
is just BS.
BTW just got my Gtech PRO yesterday here in Toronto. My emerald
green beauty does 0-60 in 7.7 seconds and I was wondering what swapping
in 3.90 gears instead of the stock 3.55's would do. Any Idea's?
Just me rambling on.
Thanks!
Will
