The air filter should be changed every oil change if you see any type of dusty conditions. I'd even change it every time regardless for good measure. When I worked for Cummins, that was our rule of thumb for trucks that we bombed around town in. For some reason, the air boxes dodge put on should have only been for engines not nearly as air hungry as the 5.9L.

Yeah, the stock airbox will pull the filter minder under WOT even with a new element. Opening up (sabre saw) the side of the box nearest the fender cures that and eliminates 90% of the bugs, chaff, etc. that accumulates on the element with the stock configuration.
