Thats kind of what I was thinking as well.....??

It looks to be on the filtered side. To the far left of it is the clips to open and take out the filter. I'll have to have a look at my filter and see where it ends.

dont air filters usually pull the air from the outside, in? If thats the case, it needs to be on the 'inside' or in the tube between the filter and the engine. Anywhere on the outside of the housing will not work.

I looked at my R4010 today and there is a white plastic 1/8th inch pipe plug in the elbow that comes out of the engine end of the air cleaner.

Went to NAPA yesterday with the idea of buying air filter monitors for each of my four diesels. At $24 each, and me with no income at the moment, I will instead take used plastic syringes, put springs inside of them, insert them into the suction sides of the filter/engine air intakes, and figure out over time where to make my marker pen marks as the filters clog up. If you want them to record the maximum vacuums, put an O-ring that snugly fits the inside of the syringe and will remain after the plunger returns on spring pressure.

Shhhhh, don't tell anyone my idea.

I have seen them for 11.95 and less on web sites.

After re thinking and reading posts about where I put my filter monitor.. I decided to move it to the elbow after the filter. This is the correct location. After moving it I tested it by removing the filters and putting my hand into the filter housing to restrict air flow. Monitor reacted immediately. Thanks to all for setting me straight.
