I guess it would be a boring world if everybody did what they were supposed to.....what would we have to argue about on DTR???? If ya cant argue about oil filters and oil, what can u argue about??? [laugh]

I use the Fram 3976A for over 50,000 miles with no filter problems.I like fram they stand behind their product,I remember reading some time ago that the fram could not stand the high oil pressure of the cummins,but I can't see that being a problem because my race runs much high pressure than my truck and it runs a fram.I think the power of suggestion goes a long way. :P

I have 6 of those things you can have! They are junk and fall apart taking the engine with them. I bought them because they were clearing them out of the parts store, a week before I read the TSB.

Seems the parts people knew they were bad, thats why they were sitting in the el cheapo bin I found them in. I guarantee they didn't sell them for a buck a piece for nothing ;)

No way will I use them on my engine, maybe the wifey would like to hang them on the Xmas tree ;D

Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and believe it when people tell you there is a problem.

Re:Split topic: Oil Filters
 

That TSB was written by dodge the same people who due not stand behind their products,because if they did this site would only have a high performance section and no need for the other topics.Before I stop using fram someone will have to show me how many motors failed because of them and not hear say failures.

Re:Split topic: Oil Filters
 

I guess ya cant say that you havent been warned....good luck to you...

Re:Split topic: Oil Filters
 

I will call and talk to cummins and find out if they have any problems with running fram or any other type oil filters,lets get the info. from the engine maker not dodge.

Say what? I don't know where you get that, but I personally haven't had issues with them standing behind their products. The question you have to ask yourself is "Do I want to risk a 10,000 dollar engine repair over a cheap filter?"


This has been discussed at length many times, and the fact remains that if you have a problem with your engine due to the product you're using, which is not on the approved filter list, you'll be forking out the money to fix it. If it's a pride thing that you don't want to listen to a TSB from DC, then that is your perogative. It's their perogative to make you pay because you have been warned. ::)
