If I am not mistaken, Fleetguard also makes this air filter for Donaldson and Baldwin so they are the same. These three manufacturers make a lot of filters for each other in the medium and heavy duty market.

The Baldwin Channel Flow and Fleetguard's Direct Flow air filters are made by Donaldson's as their PowerCore filter line since they hold the patent on it. Baldwins High Velocity Dual Flow filters are made by Fleetguard since they hold the patent and are the exact same as their Stratapore/Venturi filter line. Baldwin's parent company, Racor, also makes certain fuel filters for Mopar like the primary fuel filter mounted on the chassis for 2013+ Ram CTD trucks.
