Does anyone have the fram oil,fuel, and trans filter #s for a 2000 CTD 4x4?
-Rob

 

You probably don't want to use the Fram oil filter; it's been known to come apart, clog the oil galleries, and destroy the engine.

the fram tranny filter is made by spx filtrans same as all the rest, even dodge dealer, who want $35.00. Its 12.00 at autobarn i believe part number is 1206, get the mopar gasket frpm dealer, its much better. STAY AWAY FROM FRAM OIL FILTERS.

 

Use one of these oil filters, and you won't have to worry about filter problems.

Part Number Manufacturer

05016547AC Mopar
LF3894Fleetguard Stratopore
LF3552 Fleetguard Microglass
LF3949 Fleetguard Cellulose
3937695 Cummins Cellulose
FL896 MotorCraft Cellulose
L45335 Purolator Cellulose
PF1070 AC Delco Cellulose

These are probably all made by the same manufacturer. As cheap as DC is, I doubt if they spent the $$ to actually test all of them.

 

but if you believe in Fram like we do, the part # for oil is 3976A we have been using them for 20,000 + miles and no problems and i have NEVER heard of anybody around here having problems. we are using them in both trucks know. Just my $0.02.

August 2002 Cummins Bulletin®
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
It has been brought to our attention that a few DaimlerChrysler service
technicians are recommending that the FRAM PH3976 filter not be used on
Daimler Chrysler vehicles with the Cummins 5.9L Turbo Diesel engine and
that use of these filters can cause damage to the engine. Daimler Chrysler
has informed us that they released a Technical Service Bulletin to their
dealerships communicating a potential contamination issue and recommending
the use of Fleetguard manufactured filters.
FRAM has been selling PH3976 filter for this engine application since the
engine platform launch and it has maintained an extremely reliable service
record. Late in 2000, Cummins and Daimler Chrysler brought to our
attention a low incidence failure mode in their Cummins 5.9L Turbo Diesel
engine of the piston cooling nozzle plugging, resulting in engine failure.
The plugging was caused by contaminates lodging in the nozzle. The
contaminants included metal chips, calcium carbonate, polyethylene, and
styrene butadiene that are not associated with filter manufacture, and a
neoprene compound, which is used as a sealant on the tapping plate of the
filter. There were also several other engine warranty issues determined
unrelated to the piston cooling nozzle plugging that were part of the
engine failure sample. A small amount of neoprene rubber was used in the
FRAM filter as a sealant.
Throughout our investigation with Cummins and Daimler Chrysler on various
engine failures, no conclusive evidence was found to assign cause to
filters or other contamination sources. However, driven to satisfy our
customers, the FRAM engineering team made modifications to the design
eliminating the neoprene and expedited development and manufacturing to
release a revised filter model number to PH3976A. With the design change
on the PH3976A completely removing the use of neoprene, there is
absolutely no validity in comments that the Fram filter should not be used
for this application or that it may cause engine failures associated with
plugged nozzles.
The Honeywell Consumer Products Group warranty policy also protects the
consumer if it is determined that a FRAM filter is responsible for damage
to an engine due to defects in design or workmanship. This information
should be openly conveyed to our customers if they have any concerns or
apprehension about using a FRAM filter for this application.

I don't use them because of their low quality, not because I'm afraid of them falling apart

 

Same here.
Fleetguard filters only on my truck.
That just makes one less thing I need to think about while running down the road.

 

The listed contaminates of metal chips and polyethylene are from the foil seal on the top of the oil jug. Many people have punched the seal into the jug and ended up pouring it into the filter when pre-filling.

I cut apart a couple Fram filers (regular & premium) that I used on the Mommy van. Mommy van gets Wix filters now. The Fram filter media is great, the rest of the filter is really low quality as Bill stated.

I remember people laughing at a guy on one of the message boards who was raving about the new foil seal on Delo jugs that has a pull tab so you don't risk adding the foil to your engine.
They shouldn't have laughed...

 

FLEETGUARD!!!!! Fram is what you put on a Ford or the X-wife's car!!!

.....that's funny!!......Seriously, though, I see no reason why everyone should not be running a Fleetguard #3894!!.....Regardless of the failures with the Fram wouldn't you want the best filtering media in your oil filter that you can get?

 

As stated before Wix makes the NAPA, and Car Quest filters
