FleetGuard 2mic. filters

[CochranD]

On dodgeram.org there is a tech page of diesel facts/specs ( there are links to it everywhere on this site). There is a listing of acceptable versions of 2 micron oil filters for 12&24 valve engines. There are four filters listed.

My question is " are these full flow or off line filters"? As in they would take the place of my FG LF3894 ?? Would this be a wrong choice to use ?

i would stick with the LF3894, it is one of the better filters for the B series engines, a little bit more pricey but worth the protection. if your looking for better oil filtering, you wont find much better with a full flow oil filter, i would suggest adding a bypass oil filter system. amsoil makes seveal kits for the dodge trucks, they will filter down your oil to 2 microns, and drastically reduce your soot levels in your oil, as well as other contaminats.

I have a 1998 12 valve. Can someone put up a link to these "accepted 2 micron oil filters"?

I went to dodgeram.org but couldnt find it.

Thanks

Eric,



You read my mind.



Where is the 2 micron full-flow oil filter at Fritz's page?



This can't be true?

I think CochranD got confused with the new ULSD fuel Filters.



From Fritzs rampage:





... . A 2 micron fuel filter (04883963AB) replaced the 7 micron filter (04883963AA) for ISB applications.



Acceptable versions of the 7 micron filter for 12 valve engines include:

Raycor R33FG01

Fleetguard FS19522

Dodge 04883963AA - production stopped



Acceptable versions of the 2 micron filter for 12 and 24 valve engines include:

Raycor R33FG03

Fleetguard FS19598

Fleetguard FS19528

Dodge 04883963AB - superseded the AA version.

We quit using Fleetguard fuel filters at work as they had not lived up to the 2 micron claim. They lost a ton of injectors and pumps,and had test done on them and found out the filters would not filter better than 4 microns,so back to the Cat filters!They went a hair better than 2 microns in the testing they had done.

Hemi/Dart... your right ! Wow! Goes to show what staying up too late gets you.

I crossed the last dodge filter (2 micron) with Wix and it staes it is a 2 micron NOMINAL filter... which doesn't mean it is the same as the others, just that the Wix filter is a NOMINAL-rated filter...



I think we are going to see a bunch of the "nominal" ratings as they can sorta make the numbers say whatever they want regardless of whether or not the filter is capable of filtering it.
