i use a little Technical Analysis, and i say (little) because i can easily make a TA argument turn out however i want....
similar to Wyatt's accounting scenario...

Ok guys, thanks for the input. This is a Sticky and will remain a Sticky for educational purposes. So lets get back to the purpose of the thread which is to educate. If you dont agree with the topic then dont post or go do your own testing and post the results. If this isnt going to be constructive then we'll lock the thread so that no one can post.

how educational is it if it is bad data. Im not being a pain in the rear but a sticky should be concrete information.
the testing on this seems quite scetchy. I have never seen it before and I am on a dozen diesel sites. It would seem that this info would be wide spread. and not just to diesel forums.

Dont be offended or mad, I would just hate to see a sticky with misleading info.

This is a big problem with the net - you have to take it all "with a grain of salt"....

Id have to say there is very little scientific and unbiased testing. There are ALL kinds of skewed results, fudged numbers, modified testing, test designed to fail, different kinds of setups etc.....

Sure does make it hard for a guy to figure things out doesnt it?

Most of us have an opinion on this - no one is saying you cant express your opinion, but please keep it civil guys. Thanks.

Well, you must not be reading those sites very closely Bill because Ive seen this test many times on a number of sites (here, DTR, dieselram, Cummins Forum) over the last 5 years.....JMO.

FYI: If I wasn't civil please let me know - I always try to keep things on the up and up.

I wasnt trying to be a jerk I was just stating that I have seen other airfilter tests done and never saw AC DELCO on the tops of those lists. I agree with Wyatt, it may not be B.S but data can be skewed in the direction in which the testor needs.

and DR. you are right. I guess I need to open my eyes.
