Which Fleetguard?

[Utah Willie]

I purchased a Fleetguard filter from my local diesel shop, a Cummins "specialist" and was given an LF3349. It has two different notations printed on the shell acknowledging its approval for OEM Cummins installation. 3600 miles later, I pulled into a Freightliner shop and when asked what I wanted, I told them two LF3349s for my '99 24Valve..... he looked it up and said that was the right filter for a B series. Now, I see that there are only two Fleetguards authorized by Cummins, neither being the LF3349, according to the Local Dodge dealer and ... . oh yes... . ... the diesel outfit that sold me the first LF3349. I have installed a recommended LF3894 but am left with two of the "misfits". Oddly enough, the LF3894 has no referrence to Cummins printed on it... . So... . can I use the two 49s in a pinch? Or... as the Dodge folks said "They're getting real nasty about non-approved additions or replacements... . warranty and all that" But the book says those filters are good for series B 5. 9 diesels..... what the #### is going on?

These numbers were provided in the newest TDR mag (36)



Fleetguard LF3959 (24valve standard)



Fleetguard LF3894 (24valve stratapore)



Fleetguard LF3349



Fleetguard LF3552



Mopar 5016547AC



The last lube filter I bought from cummins, for my 01 24valve, was a fleetguard LF3935. I wish they could get their numbers straight.

The LF3349 are for use on a 12v engine and I would not receommend using them on a 24v. The 24v filters are a little more robust in design.

The one to use is the LF3894 Stratapore. It fits all years and is supposed to be the best. I get them for $7 each at the local Peterbilt shop.

Since you brought it up

I've been having problems getting my fuel filter at my local big rig shop. I tell them the # but they say it doen't come up on the computer as being a Fleetguard filter. so maybe you guys can help me out and tell me if this is the right part # for fuel filter for a 99 model ( FS19598 ), am I giving them the right # or is it wrong. I have been using the only thing they can find and it's a Lube Fingure filter, they just can't seem to be able to find the right Fleetgaurd filter.



Thanks

Darrell

Yup thats the right number, or at least what the fleetguard website says is right for your truck.
