not my cup of tea but nice looking truck, I am more into the older ones, hunting down a 53 to 55 ford right now as a multi year project.

Sheena, a K&N recharge is good for up to 50,000 miles on 'box' filters, but their conical ones can be good for up to 100K
Inspect your's annually. If you can still see the metal screen all around, then it's not dirty enough yet for a recharge, even if the cotton pleating is dirty
If you ever find any part of the screen is covered in dirt, then it's time

If you put on a lot of miles, it won't hurt to recharge it before it's due, but overdoing it is a waste as they need some dirt buildup to work more efficiently ??? That's their claim. So don't over clean it

I put very little miles on my daily driver (>5K/yr), but I re-oil my filter every 20K or so because 'it wasn't red anymore'

My mileage may jump to 10K with the new job, but look how many years I could go between re-charges

I've got a roto fab intake I picked up from someone else who was trading their car in. He had it on his car for a few months only (bought new) then on mine for a few months. It was full of bugs, but still red. I did the recharge so at least I know where it started from. Almost at 40,000 kms on my car already....
