I'm going to keep throwing these coupons away. Better to suspect they're crooks than prove it.

24 hour update...
I haven’t heard back or received an email response. This is after I spoke with the service advisor saying she would call me right back after she showed the pictures I took to the manager and tech.
3:30 pm today I called and was on the endless loop of ping ponging between service advisors. One eventually took my name and number down so they can contact me once the manager is done with a customer. Two hours later. Still no phone call. I probably won’t hear anything till Monday.

Hands down, worst day to try to get an answer from ANYONE is on a Friday. Too tempting to say fuck it and punt to Monday :grayno:

I’m still in a similar boat with the damage my dealership did to the dash during the airbag recall. 12/21 they jacked up my dash and ordered parts telling me it would be a week to week and a half. I called and left a voicemail for the service manager Tuesday and Wednesday then emailed him and the GM yesterday. No responses. I have a friend who knows the owner and will reach out that way tomorrow.
Sorry this is happening to you too! My Jeep has been to a dealer twice. First experience in Del Rio, TX was great. Latest in Sierra Vista, AZ has been beyond horrible.

Ordered that “pre-filter” material. I’ll post in my build thread how I attach it and any results I have.

That pre-filter sock arrived last night. It only has the big hole on the bottom, not the side like pictured. But! That’s actually a good thing IMO.
It’s smaller than I thought but fits pretty snug on the factory air box. I guess time will tell how much it catches. I was able to pull it down tighter than in the installed pic below.

Here are some updated pictures of the pre-filter material. This is simply from driving back and forth to work and general street driving. This is five days worth of driving and it has been a bit windy a couple of those days.
I simply pull it off, shake out the dust and reinstall. When I get it out on a dusty road/trail I’ll post any updates. Again, for $10 I’m pretty happy with the results so far.

Not to be a dick, But that really doesn’t show much. I don’t get dust in my intake driving on the street either. I get it in a group on dirt following people for miles and miles and miles. Do an hour in heavy dust ten cars behind the leader and then show the results and that might be a deciding factor.

I still have dust on my dash and in-between the seats from an event like this a year ago. And windows were rolled up that day and I've cleaned the Jeep since.

I never think you’re a dick. You’re a straight shooter which I appreciate. I completely agree that driving back and forth to work isn’t at all the same thing. I do find it interesting that it is catching stuff doing just that.
I do plan on testing in by following someone for miles in the dirt. If it doesn’t do shit, I’ll ditch it. I just figured I try it for $10 instead of a snorkel and a pre-filter.
Yes, that’s what it’s intended for. It just happens to fit nicely around the opening of the factory air box.
Will do!
