i use baldwin filters on my truck w/ no problems ever,a bhaf, fuel, and tranny filters cost total of about 70 bucks for all,(less if i use the company discount on a cash ticket) do your home work and find out who makes and packages the dodge filters and you will never buy them again,(cheapest bidder of the day, whoever it may be, flavor of the moment, ect,ect,)if you want to spend more money, go to cummins, or heck buy cat filters or donaldson (only cost a small mint), and hey whats wrong w/ rotella??? 295K and no problems on my 96, just curious thats all,

Go to the local napa get a fuel filter for 29 bucks max buy a k&n or similar air filter and a good fleetguard oil filter and run delo or amsoil and if you can get ahold of it lucas racing oil but its hard to find

all my parts are "donations" I know the parts manager at my dealer he showed me what the prices were and then give me the parts. And for oil I will never run anything else in my diesel trucks but rotella. Its my preference so leave it be!

There are people who run Rotella and never have a problem,I must be one.

Everyone has a preference, it's up to the end user.

All I can say about filters is NO FRAM! (I have run Fleetguard from day one and will run nothing else, just a quirk of mine)

Like stated oil change, fuel filter, air filter, run the rack, some timing and you will be up and running in no time.
