Help Please,

I'm getting a little confused here. Is everyone using a Baldwin BD7317 refrigeration filter to replace a Baldwin BT7349 oil filters?

Are you using them to replace the stock oil filter or in a bypass filter?

I went on line and the BD7317 cost more then twice as much as a BT7349.

Is it worth the extra money, does it do a better job filtering?

The BD7317 has better filtering capability than the BT7349 but it hasn't been approved for use on the 5.9L.

For me I'll just stick with the BT7349.

The Hastings LF608 is the same as the Baldwin BT7349. I buy Hastings filters at the local federated auto parts.

If I can't get any help from anyone, I'll be sticking with the BT7349's also.
Thanks MickyB.
