Air Filters For Your Trucks

Sorry you are WRONG. the FleetGuard Stratapore filter for 6.7 Cummins is MADE IN MEXICO, says so right on it.

I don't need a lecture from you that's for sure as you are the one commenting on my post.

Like I said PROVE ME WRONG. Remember you were first to offer a wager.

Guess I will stop my my local MotorTruck take a pic and post it for you.

Would you like to make a friendly wager??? I said "FleetGuard oil filters are not made in USA any longer so that is another reason I switched" I should have said 5.9/6.7 FleetGuard StrataPore oil filters are not made in USA any longer so that is another reason I switched.

You made a blanket statement and so did I but you know what I was referring to. So please prove me wrong.

So you are saying apples and oranges, I am talking quality here as to why I buy what I buy. Simply no comparison with the NAPA/WIX. You should know how important it is to have the BEST filtration for your fuel with the cost of injectors in our modern cummins trucks.

HAPA Gold does NOT compare to StrataPore or NanoNet Fuel filtration plain and simple.

The StrataPore for our trucks has been made in Mexico for at least a couple years now. Now have your friend tell you so and report back please.

Nope, the media may be made elsewhere, but the rolls of media gets shipped to US to make the filters.

No need to lecture me about filtration. As a person who worked in the filtration department at Cummins, I learned more in a year than you likely will in a lifetime. I know the importance of filtration, however, many place too much importance on things like branding and just reagitate their favorite brands marketing BS they were sold on. When it comes down to it, just changing your oil at a proper time is way more important than getting a filter that collects just a few microns more.

You will likely never keep your truck long enough to even notice the difference it "might" make in longevity. There have been hundreds if not thousands of heavy duty Cummins diesels go millions of miles using plain old conventional media filters. In regards to medium duty engines like our Cummins, there have been many 5.9's and 6.7's that have gone over half a million miles on regular conventional "poor quality" media oil filters.

Also, in regards to the fuel tilters you pictured above. Ironic how to "low quality" Napa filter looks exactly like the standard media Fleetgaurd filter in the video below of a Fleetgaurd rep presenting the two. Hmmm, I wonder where Napa gets that filter?

Fleetguard Protection for Cummins Powered RAM Trucks

Im thinking of installing toilet paper cartridge by pass filters now tp supply is restored in stores near you.

Mostly OEM OR FRAM

Ditto

NEVER use K&N air filters. Pull one of the the box at a store and hold it up to the light. Every one I have checked, I can see through the filter media.

I still run a GM OEM filter in my 2009 Duramax. I think I've only changed the filter twice in 12 years.

Well when I changed the oil for the first time on our new to us 2016 Ram CTD, I did a comparison of the filter the Ford dealer used on it and the Fleetguard StrataPore I replaced it with. The old is on top the Fleetguard on the bottom. The difference is clear!

K&N have their advantages for racing vehicles but not for use on paved highways. With my diesel pickup I bought a Fram replacement filter but it was much lower quality and a poorer fit than the stock GM air filter.

What 99% of people do not know is that a filter is least effective when it is brand new and before any "loading" of the media has taken place (same is true for fuel filters). The only way to improve air flow is to reduce the filtering of particles in the air, as with the K&N filters. Not a problem with a race engine that only has to finish the race but not a good choice if you want to put as many miles as possible on an engine.

With FRAM ya get what YA pay for!!!
