Fleetguard for 258,000 miles and no problems.

Here is an interesting pic I took of a Napa Gold on the left and Fleetguard on the right for the CTD.

Interseting. Less holes on the Napa Filter make me go --->

What retailers sell the Fleetguard filters other than Genos? I prefer to trade with a place that is local. Also, there were three Fleetguards listed in an earlier post/link that are approved by DC. What are the differences?



Thanks!

Thanks!

Your local Cummins shop, be nice to them and they might just give you special pricing!! I paid less then $6 a piece a few weeks back for a bunch of stratapores and fuel filters.

The donaldson filter that amsoil recommends is awesome. Highly recommended...

Fleetguard oil and fuel filters. Buy them from Freightliner in this neck of the woods.

Is the TSB posted above applicable on the newer HPCR engines? It came out in '01 for the '89 to '01 models.



As for me I use Hastings filters. Nice filter and the last I had heard Hastings and Amsoil filters are the same thing.

Physically, yes... design, no.



I don't think you're supposed to use a 12-valve filter on the 24s, but you can use a 24-valve filter on the 12s. How it was told to me is that the can on the 24-valve is thicker, to resist ballooning.

I use Amsoil with the Donaldson Endurance filter part number ELF7349



98. 7% efficient @ 15 microns, 50% efficent @ 7 microns.



Here is more info.

I use mostly Fleetguard filters. If it is not Fleetguard, then it is a Mopar.



I ran Wix on my '92 and '99 CTDs and never had a problem.

Fleetguard Stratapore in mine with Mobil Delvac 1. I buy them from Geno's or and only if I am in a bind, the local Freightliner dealer. Someone mentioned it but the filter lid for my fuel filter has Fleetguard written all over it. Just my. 02.

[03 H.O. Police]

I used to drive a Taurus SHO where the oil pump is rated at :12. 1 GPM @ 43 psi at 6400 RPM crank, which, BTW, is the entire 5 quart oil sump every 10 seconds. The maximum oil pressure that the pump can develop is 57 psi +/-5 psi. Our CTD's might run that but, the K&N filter that everyone used on these cars was rated higher GPM without going into full bypass. . ie; unfiltered oil. Thats what almost everyone used in their SHO's. Especially me, and that what I run on my CTD HO. BTW I dont have the SHO now since it gave its life to save mine ... I was sitting in it with all about 2k worth of police red and blues fllashing when a lady hit me at 80 mph as she was talking on her phone, so that was my wake up call to buy something BIGGER... ...



heres the one i use for my 2003 CTD H. O. ... http://www.knfilters.com/search/pro...px?Prod=HP-4003
