Anyone ever heard of Baldwin oil filters?? Have the chance to get several cases at a great price, but dont know if they are worthy of my CTD. Any suggestions?
Saw some good things about them for the first gens, what about on the 600 series?

 

try searching

theres a ton of info on them...in fact, a thread just last week

 

Read some things for the first gens but not for the newer engines. Will keep looking though.

 

I've inquired about them too, and from what I understand, the Baldwin is along the same quality as the standard Fleetguard filter, but not quite as good as the Fleetguard "Stratapore". But, some of the guys swear by them and they're super cool looking in bright red.

How cheap?

 

I have used Baldwin filters for years with no troubles. It is a very good filter both oil and fuel. I also use their filter for the BHAF on my 97, good stuff..

Guys, I have used red Baldwins and Blue AC Delcos, But.....I was told by the truck place that the Baldwin was not rated for as high a pressure as the Mopar and is not a direct part # replacement.

 

All I used on my 02 was Baldwin filters... oil, fuel & tranny... I'll be ordering up some cases when it's time to start doing my own oil changes on this one as well!

Thanks for the input, wonder bout the pressure issue? Gonna get them for $50/12 I've made the mistake of running frams and so far they've held up, though I still dont think they're worth having. I was looking for something close to a fleetguard, far as quality goes. The cross reference for them is BT399

 

Whats the part # for the BHAF

 

Baldwin filters are a great filter but BT399 is the old filter BT7339 is the updated version to withstand the high pressure startup. Remember cummins owns fleetguard! who do you think there going to recommend. PF7654 for fuel has been updated to PF7777

 

Alright, thanks, got the BT339's today but havent installed yet, will go back and look for the BT7339, dont wanna blow anything!
