Default Felpro

the only difference I saw between the felpro & the cummins was in the part# marked on on the gasket.It is the same# exceptwith FP in it. I just replaced mine last month thats what I found,I had to replace it because someone previously replaced it with a "cummins" gasket but should of resurfaced it. All better now

Just compared felpro to cummins gasket in a guys shop. I wouldn't run one, the metal fire ring is alot smaller than the cummins. On a stock motor that isn't getting beat they might be alright but I would never run one after looking at them. Use the cummins gasket.

I don't know about Felpro but there is other aftermarket companies that make them exactly the same and haven't had any problems
