Am I the only one seeing diesel rigs struggle near the new construction on Oak Ave?

I pass that site every morning and the dust cloud is huge. Two guys at the hardware store said their filters clogged in a week. They both depend on their diesels for daily tasks. Might be a good idea to inspect filters more often around here. Anyone else dealing with this?

Tbh, are you guys looking at heavy-duty filters now that weekly changes aren't cutting it?

Used to assume diesels were bulletproof until I saw the mess on Oak Ave. My buddy's work van started choking on dust last month, needed a new filter every ten days. He drives past there for deliveries. Before that, I figured filters lasted forever. Now I check mine weekly, it's that bad. The construction dust is no joke.

Construction dust murders diesel filters. I know guys replacing them weekly just to keep running. Skip the checks and you'll be stuck on the side of the road.
