Just wanted to share that my 2016 has the cover installed already. Just need to buy a filter.

I went by Walmart and they wanted around $20 for the filter. I'm going to an Oreillys later today to buy a Wix possibly for around $13. They have an in house brand for $10 also. I'm going to eye both of them and see if it's worth the $3 extra for the wix.

Just got the door for this mod in today. Cost $16 Canadian from the dealer, I'll pick up a filter tomorrow and hopefully Saturday I can get it installed.

As a side note, do the filters with febreeze or what not into them do anything extra?

No, just buy a filter and spray it with whatever smell you like.

$15 bucks for the cover, $11.50 for a filter at Autozone and now it's done.

Just finished with mine...

K&N washable filter - $33 before tax including a $7 coupon from Autozone
Door - $16 and free shipping from Amazon
45 mins spent at the dealership to remove a quarter sized piece of plastic that wanted to make things difficult by following the rules of gravity - $0.00!! processed under warranty! Found which dealership I'm going back to for service.

Got my parts in and install was a breeze. A box cutter, mini tourch to heat the blade and 5 minutes of time and it was done.

Good idea on heating the blade

I was a bit nervous about melting the plastic by heating the blade so I took a hacksaw blade and traced the pattern by sliding the blade back and forth thinning the plastic making the cutting easier . Alot have heated the blade and also works well. Just another way

What is the model number for your k&n washable filter? Is your truck a 4th when?
