Air Filters
Which air filters are better the Mopar or the Fleet Guard. I have a Cummin's 03 At Genos the Fleet Guard is cheaper than the Mopar by a couple bucks. No matter how you look at it I will be savinf about 15.00 by doing it myself. The Dodge dealership charges me 30.00 and tells me it needs it everytime I go in for a oil change.

I believe they are the same. You'll save some bucks getting all the Fleetguard filters from Geno's. They have a 4-2-1 kit that includes oil, fuel and air filters. Much cheaper than going through the dealer.

When I was running tha stock type filter I had to change mine every 10,000 miles because it got filthy. 03s had a problem with that..
They are the same except Dodge charges much more $$$...

Dodge seems to be lowering prices. They list the air cleaner for $16 now (was $28) got it for $13. Has the horse hair prefilter.
Also, bought a gallon of ATF+4 for $13, now lists around $16.50. Bought oil filter for $9.95. Fuel filters still too expensive.

I have heard that the FILTER MINDER would say its dirty but the filter was not as bad as the minder indicated...I have swiss cheesed my stock airbox and filter is still clean....BUT keep in mind I own a 235hp so california truck that has never been driven in rain let alone snow......

Do you think 20 K is too long to go on an air filter?
My filter minder hasn't mooved a noodle since new and its been 20 k
They say don't open it? Can you open it and check out how your filter looks no big deal?
