All who served in the military have a story to tell. The story could be about a person, platoon, division, squadron, or ship. It could be about a war, a battle, or everyday experiences. Hard Charger is the story of a Cold War cruiser, the USS Biddle (DLG-34), the last Navy cruiser powered by conventional steam, the last of the single-ended guided missile frigates, the last ship of her class, but the first on the front lines. Biddle's story is traced from when her combat systems were conceived soon after the end of World War II and then designed and built during the 50's and 60's, to her construction, commission, shakedown, combat assignments in Vietnam, her battle at PIRAZ, overhauls, upgrades, training exercises and cruises to the North Atlantic and Mediterranean, and finally her decommissioning. The story is told by the officers and men who served aboard her - captains and deckhands, technicians and engineering officers, chiefs petty officers, plankowners and her decommissioning crew. Though Biddle is gone, her remarkable story remains, as does the freedom she helped protect. Historians, those currently involved with Navy combat systems, and those who served aboard a similar ship or during the Cold War will find Biddle's story interesting and thought provoking. Hard Charger is the only book written about Biddle or any Belknap class cruiser.

Just as excellent as all other K&N products I've used
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Great fit, and lot more more robust in build than the OEM filter it replaces. I've replaced the factory cabin air filters in at least 3 vehicles with these, when the time came to replace. Side note: This one went into a 2020 Lincoln Aviator and --consistent with my experience with previous Lincoln models -- the retaining tabs on the filter housing door snapped off when I was trying to remove it. Nothing to do with the K&N filter, but I just don't understand why Lincoln can't design a better housing door mechanism.

Great fit, great replacement for standard filter.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Very tight fit, but fit it does. I put this in my 2.5L Ford Escape Hybrid 2020. Fits tight, but well, so no wiggling.

Consistently high quality products
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Have used both their cabin and engine filters for all of my vehicles and will continue with each new vehicle I get. I like that they last a LONG time, are reusable (washable), and help the vehicle run better.

A very tight fit
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I purchased this for my 2022 Escape, It is the same part listed on the KN website, I watched a video on You-tube on how to replace it. The process seemed simple enough, but I'm not as talented as the poster. I finally got the damper unhooked on the right of the door and the two clips that hold the glove box in were easy to push in. This let the glove box fall forward, Now to remove the two phillips screws that secure door of the filter assembly closed. They weren't too bad, but make sure you have a magnet to get them out, or if they drop to retrieve them. Now the door clips need to be spread apart, I broke the left one, but the right one was ok. Swap the filter and then try to close the door. The new filter was a little too thick front to back and made the door very hard to close. I used the screws to hold the door in place. Close the glove box and try to get the damper back on the peg. Search for this video 2020 - 2022 Ford Escape How to Replace Cabin Air Filter
