Find a harley dealer, my local dealer sells the K&N Filter cleaner by itself in a 32 oz. spray bottle all by itself for about 15 bucks.

 

I dont know about this man, I run baldwin filters and change the oil every 6 months on our tugboats and thats more the okay. But with the trucks, it is what it is i guess. I could go on and on about it but I am done argueing. I might just change the filters to Baldwins next time I get a filter order together.

Thanks recked13, I will look into that.

 

Actually thinkin back I can't remember if it was in the owners manual for my truck or the warranty info but in one of those it actually stated that the use Fram oil filters would void your warranty. Mentioned that brand directly by name.

 

Yup:

TSB 09-004-01

Dodge had to retract that becaus ethey were going to get their asses sued oof. But yeah, Fram is complete junk dont use them. Fleetguard Stratapore LF3894 is the best filter you can use on a Cummins.

 

How is that proven?

 

Weve switched from air filters to oil filters...

I would imagine DC did engine overhauls under warranty and they have evidence of Fram filters coming apart. Why would that be so hard to prove? Pay attention to thses words: "lodge in the piston cooling nozzle" Dead easy if you ask me. Cut a Fram oil filter apart and tell me what you see.

 

Wow, talk about a rabbit trail, guy asks what he can use to clean his K&N and now it' a full blown assault on Fram. I personally like the vanillaroma over the pine though

 

Haha, yeah this thread went places, I personally dont use Fram after photos I saw. But hey rules are rules. I ended up using simple green. Thanks guys

 

As for air filters I use a BHAF... Mine currently is 5 years old and has over 107K miles and it and never needs washing, never need oiling, never needs anything... Just run it... I stuck my filter minder in it and so far the minder has moved. But you can test the minder by sucking on the nipple (keep mind out of the gutter!) and you'll see the disc slide down. But all in all for $40 buck for a BHAF from Vulcan Performance I've never had to change it yet. I got a new one in the box waiting for the old one to quit...

As for the oil filters I be a true fleetguard fan myself but... This last oil change I did have one on had so I used a NAPA (Wix) filter. But I got 2 new fleetgaurds on the shelf now.

 

Our local Cummins Dealer isn't a factory shop, it's locally owned and all they sell is Wix. I don't know good or bad on em myself but I always order in the Fleetguard filters.
